    <description>&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="lia-align-justify"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Hey folks! Welcome to this month's&lt;STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;Ongoing Issues Review&lt;/STRONG&gt; where we keep you in the loop about some of the most trending ongoing issues reported here in the Spotify Community. This is where we share updates from behind the scenes and let you know what has been fixed, what we’re tracking, what we need your help with, and where things stand. You can check the full Ongoing Issue section &lt;A href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Ongoing-Issues/idb-p/ongoing_issues" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;here&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H1&gt;FIXED&lt;/H1&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Your-Library/Noiser-network-podcasts-don-t-play/td-p/7259511" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Noiser network podcasts don’t play&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;The original issue here has been fixed! If you're experiencing anything similar to this, make sure to let us know in the Help boards!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/iOS-iPhone-iPad/Laggy-behaviour-on-iOS-app/td-p/7176861" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Laggy behaviour on iOS app&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;We can confirm that this should now be resolved! If you're still having trouble, make sure to post a new thread in the relevant Help board&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="ghq-Link ghq-is-readonly" tabindex="0" role="link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help/ct-p/Help" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-testid="editor-element-link" data-ghq-card-content-type="link" data-slate-node="element" data-slate-inline="true" data-is-current-card="false"&gt;here&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P data-unlink="true"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Ongoing-Issues/Equalizer-issues-on-mobile/idi-p/7271746" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Equalizer issues on mobile&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We have great news from the teams - this is now fixed! Just make sure to restart the app twice in a row before giving the Equalizer another try.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;4.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Ongoing-Issues/Multiple-car-infotainment-systems-not-loading-playlists/idi-p/7228609" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Multiple car infotainment systems not loading playlists&lt;/A&gt; (GMC; Chevrolet)&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This should now be resolved!&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;Make sure your infotainment systems are up to date and reinstall the Spotify app in case the issue persists.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;5.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Queue-songs-turning-into-temporary-queue-when-moved-to-top/m-p/7181225#M223765" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Queue songs turning into temporary queue when moved to top&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The issue with the songs appearing as manually (temporarily) added to the queue has now been fixed.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;6.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Podcasts-Partners-etc/Spotify-Podcasts-on-LG-WebOS-TV/m-p/7261952" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Spotify Podcasts on LG WebOS TV&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;All good! This should now be resolved.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;7.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/iOS-iPhone-iPad/Apple-Watch-doesn-t-play-music-Playback-switches-to-iPhone/m-p/6594687#M169000" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Apple Watch doesn’t play music. Playback switches to iPhone&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This has been dealt with! If you're experiencing any further issues, just restart the app on both devices.&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;8.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Unable-to-search-artists/td-p/7264140" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Unable to search artists&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;Our internal testing shows that this should be resolved now. Make sure your apps are all updated, perform a &lt;A href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/FAQs/How-can-I-perform-a-clean-reinstall-of-the-app/ta-p/4746485" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;clean reinstall&lt;/A&gt; if necessary and let us know if the issue persists.&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;9.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Playlists-inside-folders-not-appearing-in-the-quot-Add-to/td-p/7227508" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Playlists inside folders not appearing in the "Add to playlist" menu&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This should now be fixed for everyone!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;10.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Podcasts-Partners-etc/Something-went-wrong-after-deleting-message-for-everyone-in/td-p/7271064" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Something went wrong after deleting message for everyone in messages&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This should no longer be an issue now. Make sure your app is up to date.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;11.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Podcasts-Partners-etc/Podcast-following-list-shows-all-items-as-age-restricted-video/m-p/7254388#M129447" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Podcast following list shows all items as 'age restricted video' and won't play&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;This has been resolved; just make sure your apps are up to date.&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;12.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Podcasts-Partners-etc/Embedded-player-on-wordpress-not-loading/m-p/7284440" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Embedded tracks appear broken: "Upstream request timeout"&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;A fix got pushed out and all our testing shows that this should be back to normal now!&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;13.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Ongoing-Issues/Shuffle-not-working-on-iOS/idi-p/7159809" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Shuffle not working on iOS&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We're happy to announce that this should now be fixed! Just make sure you're running the latest version of Spotify available.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;14.&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN data-sheets-root="1"&gt;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Choose-between-Google-Cast-and-Spotify-Connect/td-p/7163965" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Choose between Google Cast and Spotify Connect&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;When you as a user have more than one Cast-enabled device on Android, the system sets Google's Cast as the only option in order to enable a new feature called dynamic grouping (allows you to add or remove speakers from a live session without needing to create a pre-set group).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR aria-hidden="true" /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;With this enabled, it's currently not possible for Cast devices to play in our highest Lossless quality, but we are working on improving this so stay tuned for more information.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;LI-SPOILER&gt;A fellow user of yours&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="c-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Choose-between-Google-Cast-and-Spotify-Connect/m-p/7198679/highlight/true#M224049" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-stringify-link="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Choose-between-Google-Cast-and-Spotify-Connect/m-p/7198679/highlight/true#M224049" data-sk="tooltip_parent"&gt;has tried to have just one Connect-capable speaker online&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;at a time and has been able to listen in Lossless as a workaround so you can give that a try if you want.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;There is also&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A class="c-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Make-Android-endpoint-selection-the-same-as-the-iOS-version/idi-p/7270741" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-stringify-link="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Make-Android-endpoint-selection-the-same-as-the-iOS-version/idi-p/7270741" data-sk="tooltip_parent"&gt;an idea&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;about changing the way devices appear in the Connect picker for Android, you can check it out and leave a vote and comment if you support it.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI-SPOILER&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;15.&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN data-sheets-root="1"&gt;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Ongoing-Issues/Public-Playlists-Not-Visible-Profiles/idi-p/7275472" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Public Playlists Not Visible Profiles&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This is now fixed!&amp;nbsp;You may need to&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A href="https://support.spotify.com/article/updating-spotify/" target="_self" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"&gt;update the app&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;or log out &amp;gt; back in for a refresh.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If any issues persist, make sure to go to&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Settings&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Privacy and Social&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;on mobile, and under&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Social&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;on desktop. There, check if you see the option&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Playlists&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;and toggle it&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;ON&lt;/STRONG&gt;. By doing this, other Spotify users should be able to see the playlists you've added to your profile.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;16.&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN data-sheets-root="1"&gt;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Premium-Family/Can-not-joing-family-plan-Application-error-a-client-side/td-p/7299541" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Can not join family plan: Application error: a client-side exception has occurred&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Our tech team has identified the root cause of the error message. To fix it, reach out to your Family plan manager and have them add or update the plan address &lt;A href="https://www.spotify.com/account/family/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;here&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If they face any issues with entering the address, they can enter a &lt;A href="https://plus.codes/map" target="_self"&gt;Google Plus Code&lt;/A&gt; followed by a space and your province/ city. Once the address has been added/ updated, they can send you a new invite link.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;17.&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN data-sheets-root="1"&gt;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Mixing-feature-crashes-app-on-Android/m-p/7300436#M225364" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Mixing feature crashes app on Android&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Our tech team has made some changes backstage. This should be fixed now, so make sure you're running on your devices the latest version available for Spotify.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H1&gt;NOT RIGHT NOW&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/H1&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;18.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Ongoing-Issues/Spotify-charts-not-updating/idi-p/7123556" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Spotify charts not updating&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The right folks are looking into this, but for now we're not able to provide an exact timeline for a fix.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;19.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Your-Library/Recently-played-not-updating-on-both-mobile-and-desktop/td-p/7054857" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Recently played not updating on both mobile and desktop&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;We've passed this on to the right team so they can investigate it further. We can’t promise a specific timeframe for a fix, but it’s a good idea to keep the app updated so you don’t miss any changes or improvements!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;20.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Ongoing-Issues/Shared-playlists-not-working-on-Kids-accounts/idi-p/7263748" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Shared playlists &amp;amp; audiobooks not working on Kids/Managed accounts&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Spoken word content that had been uploaded as music tracks was previously available in managed accounts and this was a technical issue. This content has now been removed as managed accounts are designed as a music only product.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;As for Spotify Kids - the content within Spotify Kids is hand-picked by a team of editors rather than through access to the entire Spotify catalogue.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;21.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Auto-Play-Randomly-Not-Working-with-Bluetooth-in-a-Car/m-p/7183967" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Auto Play Randomly Not Working with Bluetooth in a Car&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The described behavior in this thread is not fully expected, but it is a known limitation given the current state of Offline Mode, Android background restrictions, and Spotify’s handling of Bluetooth processes.&amp;nbsp;The experience may vary by device, Android version, and car infotainment system.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;22.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Ongoing-Issues/Podcast-quot-Recently-Updated-quot-list-not-updating/idi-p/6657289/page/10" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Podcast "Recently Updated" list not updating&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We're not able to provide an exact timeline for a fix, but&amp;nbsp;we just wanted to confirm that the issue is on our radar.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;23.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Content-Questions/Artist-name-replaced-with-quot-cleaned-quot/m-p/7286814" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Artist name replaced with "cleaned"&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We've passed this on to the respective team so they can have a closer look. We're unable to provide an ETA for a fix at this time, but rest assured this will remain on our internal teams' radar.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;24.&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN data-sheets-root="1"&gt;&lt;A class="in-cell-link" href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Data-Usage-for-Podcast-Downloads/m-p/7192756" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Data Usage for Podcast Downloads&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Some creators can choose to serve their episodes via their own third-party servers. In these situations, their content will get streamed or downloaded in the quality the creators are providing it in.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Although we can't immediately commit to a timeframe in which this will be addressed, we do thank you for sharing your feedback with us. It has been noted as a future product improvement and it is on our radar.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;We've passed the info on to the right team so that they can have a closer look, but we cannot commit to a specific timeframe for when this will be addressed.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;We've passed the info backstage but we cannot commit to a specific timeframe for when this will be looked into for the time being&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;We've gone ahead and passed your reports to the right team and they're currently looking into this. However, we can't commit to a specific timeline for this behavior to change.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The teams are now aware of this issue and are investigating. As soon as we have any updates on the matter, we'll let you know.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;35.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Accounts/ChatGPT-app-can-t-link-to-Spotify-account/td-p/7170854" target="_self"&gt;ChatGPT app can’t link to Spotify account&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We've been looking into this deeper with our team and we can confirm that this should now be possible with the ChatGPT Free tier too. Please test once again if the linking works for you and let us know how it goes.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;36.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Podcasts-Partners-etc/The-Spotify-app-pauses-for-a-few-seconds-and-then-starts-playing/td-p/7171963/page/2" target="_self"&gt;The Spotify app pauses for a few seconds and then starts playing again without me doing anything&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Although we can't commit to an exact timeframe for when this app behaviour is going to be addressed, do keep your app up to date at all times. For anyone new here experiencing this, make sure to leave your details: Your affected device's make &amp;amp; model + your Spotify app version on the TV.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;37.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Windows/Desktop-Drag-amp-drop-for-queue-items-doesn-t-work/td-p/7258654" target="_self"&gt;[Desktop] Drag &amp;amp; drop for queue items doesn't work&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Our team have confirmed that the issue doesn't occur on the latest app version, so please update your apps and test if that's the case for you too. If you're still experiencing this, make sure to let us know the details shared in the thread.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;38. &lt;A href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Windows/No-sound-from-Nvidia-Shield-to-TV-tracks-appear-to-be-playing/m-p/7295707#M137972" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;No sound from Nvidia Shield to TV; tracks appear to be playing&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It turns out that there's a setting on the Nvidia Shield that is causing some issues. The workaround is to disable it by following these steps:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;LI-SPOILER&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In the&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Nvidia Shield’s settings&lt;/STRONG&gt;, go to:&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;settings&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;device preferences&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;display &amp;amp; sound&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;advanced sound settings&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;and&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;disable "Match content audio resolution - Preserve audio bit depth and sampling rate over HDMI"&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;After this is done, either a force stop of the Spotify app is recommended and/or a cold restart of the device by unplugging the power cord (and other cables as well should be helpful). Then start the device again.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/LI-SPOILER&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As for the issue itself - make sure to send us&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;date&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;+&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;timestamp&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;+&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;time zone&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;of when&amp;nbsp;you reproduced it.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;39.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Podcasts-Partners-etc/Spotify-Connect-not-working-on-certain-accounts/td-p/7282040/page/3" target="_self"&gt;Spotify Connect not working on certain accounts&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If anyone is experiencing this, make sure to leave your device details in the thread (your speaker device's name and exact version + the exact Spotify version you're currently running), alongside any additional troubleshooting you've covered (switching networks, devices, etc.)&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":writing_hand:"&gt;✍️&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;We've passed your comments to our tech folks so they can have another look into this. To aid us in the investigation, share with us the following info:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;LI-SPOILER&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;The devices you're using, including make, model, OS and firmware version.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;The&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/FAQs/Check-your-Spotify-app-version/ta-p/4979337" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;exact version of Spotify&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;you're running&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;If this happens over Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or both&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;If changing the audio quality (for example from Lossless to Very high, or vice-versa) have any effect&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;/LI-SPOILER&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Version&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;1.2.81&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;should be out now! Could you let us know if everything looks good? &lt;BR /&gt;If you don't see a pending update under your profile picture in the top right corner of the app, you can try&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A href="https://support.spotify.com/article/reinstall-spotify/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer"&gt;reinstalling Spotify&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;instead - that should do the trick.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
