My Question or IIssue

 

Spotify no longer plays sound when plugged in via USB and used through Android Auto. The song plays, the track is counting through but there's no sound at any volume. Others sounds work fine in Android Auto such as phone calls and Google Assistant.

 

I've tried disabling Android Auto (it's preinstalled and cannot be fully uninstalled), I've done a full uninstall of Spotify and cleared the cache numerous times but nothing works. Spotify works fine via Bluetooth and not using Android Auto.

 

I've tried a number of suggestions on these forums but to no avail. I'm slowly losing my mind so any help would be greatly appreciated.

You aren't gonna believe this but I've fixed it. Last month I disabled microphone permissions for Android Auto because it kept reacting to me having random conversations in the car. I just enabled microphone permissions for Android Auto and it works. Music plays with sound again. I'm absolutely astounded by how bad Android Auto is. I can't believe it disables all sound including Spotify if the mic permission is revoked. Apparently a microphone is crucial to listening to music according to Google.

 

Thank you for all the assistance, I'm glad it's finally sorted.
