Music randomly pauses when connected to BT speaker

[Riftwarden]

Hey guys,

so recently got got a JBL Charge 3 speaker and has been absolutely awesome until now...

listening to some sick beats when all of a sudden my spotify pauses, and continues consecutively until I get frustrated and give up. I have solved it sometimes by switching the internet off and then back on again how we it doesn’t last very long.

I presumed there was something wrong with the speaker itself but it seems that spotify is the only program that ‘force-pauses’. Leading me to believe there might be a problem with spotify itself. 

Please ded help I don’t want this to continue!

Hey, you're not alone with this issue. Try doing the things I did to fix mine:

It could be the app itself, it depends on where you listen to your music and how you are connecting to the speaker.

Do you use your phone or computer?

If you use a computer desktop app to play your music to the speaker, perhaps reinstalling the app and seeing if that helps, you can do this on the Spotify website. 

Once you have done a clean reinstall, try running the app as administrator and keep the app updated. 

If you are using a mobile app, consider reinstalling the app and checking for any updates. 

I hope this helps,

Callum

I had the same problem and I'm convinced it's simply a bug. I was listening on my Samsung phone and the problem stopped after I reinstalled the app. Hope that works for you as well!

You probably have more than one device connected to your bluetooth device...i discovered my laptop and phone were both connected to the JBL, i disconnected one and it started playing smoothly

I'm having this exact same issue, Bluetooth connected Samsung Galaxy S21 to my 2019 Chevy Silverado or hardwire connected via USB to same vehicle, as well as BT connected to my BT Earbuds.  It doesn't always happen, but it will all the sudden FADE to a PAUSE and I have to click Play again in the App on the phone or on the screen in my truck.

It will sometimes continue doing this every few seconds/minutes until it becomes so frustrating that I want to throw my device out the window.  Android 12, tried uninstalling and reinstalling app, even Cleared the Device Cache from preboot menu, nothing seems to permanently fix this issue.  Only other thing connected to my Android phone via BT at the time is a FitBit which is not a media playing device. 

Any assistance or suggestions would be super helpful on how to fix this problem.

Thank You all
