Pixel 4A Android Audio Problems

[[Member Paul…]]

I just upgraded from a Pixel 3A to a Pixel 4A android phone and I'm having all sorts of audio problems now for some reason. The audio randomly starts lagging and cracking to the point where it becomes unusable at times. It happened infrequently on my 3A but never to the point where I couldn't even record properly

Here's a video of the issue:

 

Some songs are worse than others but it happens on every song I've tried. I've already submitted a support ticket but I'm just wondering if anybody here has experienced this. Seems strange that an upgraded phone with a better processor would have this problem.
