Seems like when the video plays along with the audio this bug occurs. To make sure the video stream is causing this, try playing a live stream in the background when casting.

I got the same issue from playing a livestream.

Good, as expected. Next test is to try https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.brouken.player/.

What exactly do I need to do? Does F-Droid have a player for youtube videos?

Doesn't matter if it's from YT. Any video and audio will do. All you need to check is if the distortion happens with that app as well or not.

I still get the issue playing YouTube videos from that app however I have videos on my phone that play just fine on VLC player. I'll be back in a few hours.
