Playback keeps skipping

My Question or Issue

Regardless of whether I am using the snap or apt-get installed client, or even the wb client on chromium. The player continuesly pauses and unpauses, as in like a cd would skip. The song goes quiet for 1-3 seconds whilst the playtime indicator progresses, every 5 - 10 seconds. However when I pause the song, the playtime indicator resets to the actual time the song has played. This makes using your product unbearable. However the weirdest thing is that I tried demoing this bug using SimpleScreenRecorder, whenever I was recording the issue would not occur. I tried multiple times and the issue would not occur whenever I was recording. I refuse to continuesly record in order to play music normally please fix the bug or turn my attention to the fix.

I am having this issue. I have tried removing the spotify cache, I have uninstalled/reinstalled fresh, restarted my machine several times. In my terminal I ran `spotify > output-spotify.txt 2>&1` and when the playback skip happened I quit the app. This was the only thing in the log file: `double free or corruption (fasttop)`
