Spotify loses connection when casting

Hello,

 

I'm having several issues that all involve connection to my device when casting

 

#1 Song info and playing time get out of sync. Music keeps playing but song info is not up to date. See this screenshot and notice the weird playing times

#2 Adjusting volume with Galaxy S8 - side buttons doesn't work sometimes, or suddenly it does making it jump to say 30% (which is not always admirable 😉 )

#3 Stream randomly pauses when it has just started. I can resume  manually and after a few songs it usually keeps going

#4 Crackling in songs. Whenever I reset met Wifi network it's okay again. Have to do this +- once a week. I have zero other internet issues btw, looks like this is happening inside Spotify

 

So, several issues which at least 1, 2 and 3 all have sometime to do with a bad connection. Overall it feels quite buggy at times and I would like some action taken on this, I pay way too much for this many bugs.

 

Details

I have a premium plan casting from my Samsung Galaxy S8. I cast to my Harman Kardon Enchant 800. I have found other topics addressing similar issues, with no answers:
