Audible app stops playing when iPhone sleeps or locks

After a IOS update today, my audible app stops playing when my iphone screen goes into sleep mode. I've closed apps, rebooted phone and still having problem.

I'm having this problem too since updating to IOS 14.5. When going to sleep with the audible app on sleep timer the sound dies as soon as the screen goes to sleep but the app keeps playing. The only work around I have come up with is to force close the app then restart. Then restart the timer and manually close the screen with the right button. This allows the app to continue to play.
