I can hear Ipod music but not Spotify

[opfast]

I play my music thru a receiver with the wires plugged into the audio in/out of the back of the receiver.  I can hear my Ipod playing music.  I can't hear Spotify on my Samsung SM-T110 tablet.  I can hear Spotify play music when no wires are attached to the Samsung and I can hear music when I plug in earphones.  I just can't hear music from the Samsung when I plug it into the receiver.  A friend brought their tablet over and they can hear music thru my receiver so I am thinking a setting on the Samsung got changed?

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Sorry; can you explain how you are connecting the tablet to your receiver? You say you can hear OK without connection and OK through headphones.... that only leaves the USB port, which you will not be able to stream from.

The attached photo shows my configuration.  On the Samsung, the power recepticle works fine on a multitude of differnt power sources.  That is not the issue.  The other cord, the sound jack(?) does not allow sound to be amplified thru the receiver.  I don't know if a setting has been changed in the Samsung or if the recepticle in the Samsung is not working.  The baffling part, is I can plug an ear phone into the Samsumg and hear music through the Samsung.  I can also take the same audio jack and plug it into an Ipod and the receiver can detect the music from the Ipod-which makes me believe it is a setting in the Samsung.

Thank you,

I see.. it is odd, do you know anyone else with an amp or aux input speaker you could try your samsung in?

Might be worth trying a different cable too.
