Hi @oscar1372,
I have an update on this issue. The reason why we see a black screen is because Alexa Smart Screen SDK is re-rendering the audio player card when resumed. This is done because SDK is observing a change in the metadata which triggers a refresh. We have informed the audible team and hope this gets addressed soon.

Once again, thank you for your contribution to the Alexa Smart Screen SDK!
