Voice Memo won’t play after it was paused and resumed

So, I always record my singing sessions in order to practice later at home. This week, I’ve recorded another one, but I had to pause it for a while to see a small piece of a YouTube video, after which I pressed “resume”. Everything worked alright, and I saved the recording when I was done. And so today when I decided to practice at home, the memo only played up until the moment I paused it back then. The length shown is almost 50 minutes, but it only plays to that moment (around the middle of the record) and stops. If I press “play” again, it stops right away. I’m extremely upset and annoyed cause I did record the stuff for a reason. Is there any way to “repair” the recording? Did that ever happen to anyone else in here? What did you do?

iPhone 11, iOS 13

Thanks for the prompt reply! Unfortunately, it doesn’t work.

I also tried to edit the recording, however, it’s just empty after that moment. Super annoying, but I guess that part is just gone forever 😕

P.S. It looks slightly different now that I’ve already opened it to be edited and closed it and then opened again to take a screenshot. It used to show just a flat line as if everything I recorded after that moment had been just absolute silence.
