Popping sound when streaming SPOTIFY on the Google Nest Speakers

[marcolopespt]

There is a random "popping" / "crackling" sound that occurs when streaming SPOTIFY on the Google Nest Speakers. This ruins the whole music listening experience!

Is Spotify aware of this? Is it a Spotify or Google problem?

Thanks

You shouldn't have ANY problems with the latest firmwares!!!

Please check if the firmware is up to date.

This is NOT a problem now.

Since a week I am having this problem, weird thing is I never had the problem before ( almost 2 years), the firmware is on the latest version.

Don't say that... not even JOKING!! 💀🤕😵😫🙉

That was the WORST BUG ever introduced by GOOGLE on the Google Nest devices!!!

It drove me crazy for MONTHS last year!!!

It TOOK Google MONTHS to FIX!!!

It was a NIGHTMARE (that still gives me nightmares!!!)

That said, i listen to music everyday on my devices (specially to SLEEP) and i would have noticed if this dreadful BUG was reintroduced... i notice nothing at all (thank you UNIVERSE!!!)

Here is the LAST thread on the Google community about this: https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Speakers-and-Displays/Strange-popping-sound-in-my-nest-mini/t...
