Not a single song is playing, from anywhere,

[Willguard]

Just turned on spotify desktop, had  it playing my playlist, i put computer to sleep, came back, turned it back on, not a single song will play, not from my playlist, radio, discover, ads, etc.  Audiio

I uninstalled and reinstalled, still having same issue..  what happened?

Hi @Willguard. Have you tried restarting your computer? Spotify will fail to play sometimes if there's no audio device detected. Why that happens can vary, but a restart should do the trick. Please let me know if the problem persists after restarting.

No dice. I restarted the computer, nothing. Fully shut off, and turned on, nothing.     You click play, and it will load the album thumbnail, then switch it to the next one, then the next one, and so on and so on until the bar up top says can't play the current song.  And it's doing it for everything not just my playlists, even the ads aren't loading. 

Nonsense.

Hmmmm. Unfortunately my expertise is limited for software issues outside of the basic "have you tried turning it off an on." Fortunately @MattSuda has answers to just about everything, and should be able to help.

Actually, you were on to something. I think by putting my computer to
sleep, it some how corrupted my audio driver. I just uninstalled and
updated the driver, now everything works again.

@Willguard Perfect! I had forgotten that was also an option. xD

Glad this got resolved, please let me know if you run into any trouble in the future and hopefully I'll be more useful then. 😛
