Audio glitching during song in new Spotify version (NOT dip at end of song)

[TrantaLocked]

In a new version of Spotify, hardware acceleration is now bugged causing audio glitches or hitches. They don't happen all the time but often enough to be a recurring problem. The only solution was to disable hardware acceleration which I have never needed to do for fifteen years using Spotify. This is not the issue with songs not transitioning correctly.
