My Question or Issue
For the last 2 weeks, when listening to Spotify on a laptop with external speakers, music is skipping every 5-10 seconds. It's not skipping ahead or to another song, there's just a slight break in the music for a split second. My computer is hardwired for internet with download speeds consistly around 100. Never had a problem with this before.
I've rebooted my computer and completed any Windows updates. I've deleted the Spotify app several times and redownloaded it. No other computer issues. I can play Spotify on my iPhone and there's no issues. This seems to be isolated to the Windows Desktop App for me.
Hey @sternhead
Try changing your default speakers to back to the original speakers and restart spotify and launch spotify and see if that has fixed the issue.
