My Question or Issue

Whenever I change my default sound device in Windows settings, spotify automatically plays. Is there a setting to stop this?

Hey @maxrussell2016,

Thank you for your reply.

We suggest that you perform a clean reinstall of the app to make sure there's no old cache files causing this.

If it's possible - can you log in with another account - such as a friend's or a family member's to see if the issue persists?

Can you also let us know which version of the app you have?

We'll keep an eye out for your reply 🙂

Cheers!

I've installed each update offered.
This only occurs with the bluetooth connection to stereo. Not other audio
devices.

Hey again @maxrussell2016,

Thank you for your reply and the provided information 🙂

Depending on the devices involved - starting a Bluetooth connection might trigger one of the devices to automatically resume music playback from the default music app. This is due to the device connected sending a request for music to be played.

If you'd like that changed we suggest checking with the manufacturer of your stereo if there's a firmware upgrade that disables this.

Cheers 🙂

It would be great to have the option in Spotify itself to disable the autoplay
