iPhone failing to play Podcast with wired earbuds?

16 Pro running 18.2... when I use the wired Apple earbuds to pause a podcast, the device will then fail to play audio in podcast or music until phone is restarted.

The problem does not occur if I pause using the buttons on phone screen.

Using PocketCasts and Apple Music.

Having same issue with just over month old iphone 16. Use iphone with wired Apple earbuds (usb-c) at night to listen to podcasts through icatcher, audible and calm apps. Issue is with all three apps; pause with earbuds or sleep timer, cannot restart podcasts via toggle on earbuds and sometimes get a blank screen on iphone. Have to restart iphone which is a royal pain at three in the morning. Apps worked fine with old 12 mini and work on a 13 mini with current ios and latest ipad air with usb-c port. Took the phone into Apple and the logic board was replaced due to a diagnosis of charging usb-c port issue (audio was not checked, though issue was explained to Apple). So, the problem still exists and is very frustrating. Does replacing the logic board replace the usb-c port or is the port separate from board and needs to be replaced? Or what?! Help is appreciated.
