[issue] Can't play current track // can't write to stream, Connection terminated

[Crashillo]

Hi,

Since last updates, Spotify is stopping play music after a while, displaying that message: "Can't play current track".

So, I run it on CLI to check out the log (it's below attached) in order to see what's happening and, once Spotify begins to fail, log says:

13:38:12.175 E [audio_driver_pulseaudio.cpp:326 ] can't write to stream, Connection terminated

The fun part is that, it begins to fail whenever Spotify wants, that means: sometimes after playing 5s, after 15s, after a couple of songs.... undetermined.

I've attempted to reinstall Spotify, to reinstall pulseaudio, switch between testing-stable versions... same error.

My settings are:

OS: Linux xubuntu 4.2.0-35-generic x86_64 (running with VirtualBox 5.0.16, host Windows 7 Pro SP1)

spotify-client 1:1.0.25.127.g58007b4c-22

pulseaudio 1:6.0-0ubuntu13

Check out the log for further info.

Thanks!

Me again: I think I've achieve it.

Nothing to do with Spotify.

But, just for the record, if it helps somebody: It seems it was a pulseaudio drivers problems. As I was running Xubuntu under VirtualBox, I had the latter updated to its last version, but you need as well to update Guest Additions (they're provided by VirtualBox itself), a set of drivers to make work the guest machine.

So, add the Guest Additions virtual drive or download it here, run the tools and that's all.

Good luck!
