Playback delayed on Windows

[tatejcolbert]

I'm in the US using Spotify premium, on Windows 11, but also had this issue on Windows 10. 

When I hit the play button directly on the app, on the windows thumbnail or on my BT headphones, the song begins to show playback, but audio doesn't come through for somewhere between 4-15seconds. It's horribly annoying.

Hey @tatejcolbert,

Thanks for posting in the Community!

We get that you're experiencing some playback issues while using the app on Windows 11. Please keep in mind that due to the fact that the OS is fairly new, there still could be some unexpected situations. It's worthwhile to perform a clean reinstall of the app, as this is more thorough than the normal one and ensures that no cached data will cause interference with the new installation of your app. See if this will make a difference.

If the above doesn't help, could you please return with a short video of the situation, and also your exact Spotify version. This info will help us in reproducing the situation on our end, so we could give a better advice.

Let us know how things work out, we'll be keeping an eye out for your reply.
