My Question or Issue
Doesn't matter what I do, Spotify will randomly stop at around 30 seconds during playback. I first thought it might have been someone tampering with my account so I signed out and changed passwords. Still it continued to I tried to download the files locally. No Bueno.
I then tried reinstalling Spotify which worked for a little while, now I'm back to square one again. something is causing it to stop playing. I'm about done with the windows app.
I do have a DSP drivers installed for a USB interface, but I doubt that would cause any issues.
Device type: Steinberg UR44C USB interface
This is about the only non-standard device on my PC.
I noticed that switching to offline mode does seem to temporarily fix this issue for me. Please don't tell me my internet is slow because its not. Im sure if I can download a gigabyte of data in a matter of 5 minutes, i should have more that adequate bandwidth for some audio streaming. Thanks in advance.
