Background sounds stops abruptly and restarts on it's own after updating my iPhone 12 to iOS 17

After updating to iOS 17, background sounds no longer works correctly. The night I updated, I turned the dark noise option on from control panel and it began playing like normal. About a minute later it went completely quiet and came back to full volume after a period of silence. I thought my phone had died or something with how abrupt it was. After another minute or so it did it again, and again, and again, to the point where I had to turn it off. I tried launching it from the settings option instead or picking a different sound, but I’m getting the same result. I’m not sure if it’s a bug in the latest update, but I’d appreciate having this feature back.

You might check your Background Sounds settings. The same thing was happening to me, but I had the toggle at the bottom of the BS Settings screen selected: “turn off sounds when screen locked.”
