My Question or Issue

The app seems to be working completely fine except the fact that there is no sound whatsoever. I've tried rebooting the mac and reinstalling the app as described here with no success.

There is also no sound when using wireless devices (AirPods and bluetooth speakers) as well as 3.5 mm jack headphones.

Hey there @antonephoto!

Thanks for reaching out.

Could you try restarting your phone to see if that makes any difference for you?

If you still experience this, it might be caused by an issue with your device's cache. Not to worry, performing a clean reinstall of the app with the steps here should help solve this.

I had this same problem but I also listen to music on my iphone App so I checked that and saw that I had the volume slider all the way down there even though it was all the way up on my desktop so moral to the story if your going to switch back n forth between the 2 make sure BOTH volumes are up.

I had this issue too - it was just the Spotify app volume control - which weirdly doesn't reset to a default volume when you reinstall the app or restart.

I tried everything, and this is what solved my issue! Such a funny thing for me to overlook
