14.68 software broke the forward/back 30sec controls playing audiobooks

Fenix 7 pro - 14.68 firmware broke the forward/backward 30sec controls while playing audiobooks. To be clear, those controls are still available to select, but they don't do anything no matter how many times I press the button (they worked as expected prior to the latest update). Can anyone else confirm?

Cheers.

To add to the above, using the forward/backward controls on my Bluetooth headphones (while listening to audiobooks) does not work after the 14.68 update either.

Same for me. They don't work at all.

Also, anyone knows if Fenix 7 supports '.m4a' files? Thank you

Haven't tried it, but according to Garmin's support site, it is supported - Audio File Type Support for Garmin Music Watches

I can confirm that the jump ahead/back 30 buttons are there for me but they don't work anymore

PS, when I dump podcasts into the Podcast folder (on my desktop) they more often than not do NOT appear in my Podcast folder on the watch and therefore I can't use the 3o seconds ff button (they usually appear as regular music)

I had the same problem and can confirm it has stopped working. They should be radically improving this feature, not breaking it.

The v15.68 software release resolved the issue.

Thank you for the link! I've tried a couple of files and I can't reproduce them on my watch. I've converted these audio files to .mp3 and they work now.
