Hey @zappe Welcome to the Spotify Community!

Try turning off Crossfade Tracks and the Volume Control. To do this go to your advance settings in the App.

Hey @zappe Did the problem work out or is it still there?

It usually takes a bit longer for the leak to get big.

It's still growing though.

Okay.. Let me know when it spikes and then we can run some solutions and see if any of them will work.
