Terrible, inconsistent audio distortion on certain songs.

[Red6785]

Describe the bug On certain songs, Harmonoid will play terrible audio quality, while it is fine on others. None of my other music players do this, tested with Dopamine, Screenbox, and Poweramp. It doesn't seem to distort with 100% accuracy, I am unable to find a concrete method to reproduce it - sometimes it persists through multiple restarts, other times I spent 10+ minutes straight trying to get it to happen. I already tried the rubberband workaround you linked before in another issue, it didn't solve the issue. To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open Harmonoid
2. Click on the bugged tracks
3. Audio distortion is immediately noticeable.

Screenshots Here are attached videos showcasing the playback from Harmonoid when it is distorted versus when it is not. Not distorted:

Can someone confirm if this is solved?

Negative. Still exists. Can now confirm the issue also happens on macOS Sequoia. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/30322ea9-c29d-47e7-b03e-c09abbfe995a
