Changing a clip to musical mode makes it distort in Cubase 15, not in C14

I have several projects in musical mode, due to tempo changes that I sometimes alter.

Rendered some drums. Put the 64bit rendered file in musical mode. Then it distorts in Cubase 15. It does not distort in Cubase 14. Tried several times, and different projects, same result. C14 and 15 have same settings. Elastique pro - time. Other algorithms also distort in C15.

Edit: checked with even more, totally different projects. Behaviour is consistent.

Is the underlying audio file a FLAC file, or is it a .wav file or is it an .aif file?

Furthermore, which bit resolution does the file have?
On which bit resolution do you run your Cubase, 32bit float or 64bit float (check in Studio → Studio Settings → Audio System)?

wav 4464

64bit floating processing precision.

edit: again, same settings in Cubase 15 as Cubase 14
