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 have had the same issue and was able to bypass it by going to settings/Audible. Turn OFF Allow Audible to Access Media & Apple Music. Restart your audible app and now you can turn off you screen and use audible the same way as before the update.
