Hey @yclinnnnn,

Welcome to the Community 🙂 Thanks for reaching out about this.

Could you let us know if you can replicate this issue when you're connected to a different network or using mobile data? You can also ask a friend to log into their account from one of your devices to see it this happens to them too.

Keep us posted. We'll be on the lookout for your reply.

This happened to me too a few weeks back - something was seriously wrong with Google Home + Spotify connection. I couldn't use either Google Home or my iPhone or Mac to make it work right. It kept pausing (and in my case unpausing) every few seconds. What fixed it was switching the audio output to my computer (not phone) and back to the Google Home. Hopefully that helps

Hi Peter,

Yes, my devices connected to the wifi at my place, and I had tried with my mobile data as well. However, one of my friends suggested me to switch off the ''Hardware Acceleration'' on my Mac and restarted it. Then, the problem solved. Thank you for all your reply!

Hi, 

Thank you for your suggestion!

However, I switched off the "Hardware Acceleration" and restarted. The problem solved after that. Hope it helps.
