SUMMARY In v25.08.0, changing the playback speed now alters the pitch, which changes the audio to sound like a chimpmunk when sped up. This was not the case before, as it simply sped up the audio without adjusting pitch. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install version 25.08.0 2. Play any podcast. 3. Change the playback speed. OBSERVED RESULT Changing playback speed now alters pitch. EXPECTED RESULT Changing playback speed should not alter pitch, only speed up the audio.

This happens with the Qt Multimedia backend. However, it sounds fine with the VLC backend. You can try changing the backend in the settings page.

Thank you!
