Audio issue with headphones and Bluetooth

Constructive Criticism :DuoEmoji1transp:

I've noticed that when using a Bluetooth speaker or headphones, the first word (or about half of a second of audio) gets cut off. I think it's caused by an automatic power saving feature of my phone (Samsung S23). I assume other phones probably do it as well. I can't seem to find a way to disable it. I even bought an adapter for wired headphones... but it still cuts the audio.

​

If I'm not alone on this one, perhaps Duolingo could consider having a half second of silent audio at the start of audio playback, to prevent this problem.
