So, I host some songs on my jellyfin server, When I reproduce them on my android phone with the screen on the music is fine, no problem at all, but when the screen turns off or when I press the button to turn it off, the music sounds all corrupted, when I power the screen back on the music sounds fine, any solutions?

The official Jellyfin app isn't the best when run in the background, you're better off using a third party app for music like Gelli, Finamp, Symfonium, etc

A fix is to disable the Power Management (or whatever it may be called) for the Android app in your phone's settings. Depending on the manufacturer, this will have a a different name, and it is often quite aggressive. That said, there are some tailor-made music apps for Android, which are also a good choice.
