My Question or Issue

The Spotify app for Android TV is not working. Songs play for 8 seconds without sound and then skip to the next song, again without sound. Other apps on the TV work fine. I cleared the cache, uninstalled the app, reinstalled it, and rebooted the TV, but nothing worked.

My Question or Issue

Spotify App does not play any sound on Android TV. All other TV and other app sounds work. Both the TV and the Spotify app have the latest version. Settings > Apps > Special app access > Display over other apps - is enabled for Spotify. The TV is connected to the router via an ethernet cable. The same problem is if I use wifi connection. According to comments on the market, many people with Android TV have this problem. What is the solution? Thanks

Go into your TV settings, go to advanced settings and reset your network settings. That solved this problem for me.

Hey folks, 

Thanks for the reports.

For anyone still experiencing the issue, make sure to provide all the info that was previously requested by @AlejaR. This is so we can forward your reports to the teams that are looking into the issue.

On the other hand, we'd suggest giving @bockolomew's suggestion above a try to see if that fixes the issue for you as well.

Keep us posted.

Does it actually help/do anything or is this just "busy-work" to make it look like you are actually looking into this and not just ignoring your paying customers -- when actually you are not doing anything about it at all?

With all due respect, this is**bleep** suggestion. If he went into his settings and simply corrected something that was actually wrong, well, then his problem doesn't even belong in this thread. If he simply went into his configuration and re-entered the existing values and this actually fixed his problem, his TV is broken and again, his report does not belong in this thread.

This thread is for reports of problems when all configuration is already correct and everything else on one's device/TV is working just fine and the ONLY thing not working correctly is the Spotify app.

There are also many people on this thread that are not using the app on TVs but on other devices such as Chromecast-with-Google-TV and other Android TV devices. All of those various devices are not broken such as @bockolomew's TV would appear to be (because just simply re-entering existing values into his configuration fixed his issue).

Can we please have some actual corrective action on this years-old issue with the Android-TV Spotify app?

My Question or Issue

I'm using the Roku app frequently. Today it stopped working where the app functions and thinks its playing audio but it's completely silent. There also no sound effects when moving through menus.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the app on Roku. Other apps on Roku such as YouTube are functioning well.

Hey folks!

Thank you for the patience while we're taking a look into this 🙌🏼

In order for our tech teams to understand the issue better we'd like to ask you for some additional assistance.
For now we only need your agreement (in a few words as a response to this thread) that you'd be ok with them taking a look at your account logs.

Once we have a few of you ready, we will ask you to reproduce & record the issue, providing us with a timestamp of when the issue has occurred, which will hopefully bring us closer to identifying what's going wrong.

Many thanks in advance for the assist! We'll be on the lookout for your replies 🙂

Hey @ockels,

Thanks for the confirmation!

To follow up on this, would it be possible for you to send us a video of the issue + timestamp from when the video reproducing this was created? With the timestamp and extra information the team will be able to look in more detail. We really appreciate your help!

@Xime190 @Mariecaroline Would you be okay with what @Vasil asked here?

We'll be on the lookout for your reply.
