Chromecast Audio suddenly cant smoothly stream 24-bit or 16bit music files cast from PlexAmp

Server Version#: 1.43.0.10162
Player Version#: 4.12.4

No issue with playback to PlexAmp App or through Web interface. Started less than a week ago after adding new songs to my library. No issue in the past with 24-bit songs but now even my old songs keep skipping and wont play smoothly.

Server: v.1.43.1.10183
Web Player: v.4.152
Plexamp: v4.12.4
Android 16, S25 Ultra

I seem to have the same issue when casting 16bit or above FLAC to my Sennheiser soundbar. The audio starts skipping and weirdly looping. I also cannot manually skip to later in a song, the cursor always goes back to the beginning.

The problem is also present when casting music from the Chrome browser through the web player.

I tried to cast from VLC with the same audio file, it works as expected.

Sounds like a Google side issue.
