Same issue on PC, the "Focus" station (is this a new station?) seems to have the same problem.

It is so nice to use the earbuds to keep my Sim happy while doing tasks.
This means they do not need to be near a stereo.

@EuphorialQueen That looks like the same LE reported here in the German forum: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Die-Sims-4/Seit-Strick-mit-Schick/m-p/9356862
Does it work for stereo for you (user used stereo not earbuds) ?

Stereo is fine. The channels play correctly and the associated actions are available.
Like "BRUTALLY DANCE" to Metal music which is great fun.
