What solution are you replying to?  I still can't get mine to work

Out of the blue, I was able to fix the problem by going in to the Sound panel of my computer and connecting the Spotify App to my speakers.  I'm assuming a recent Windows patch fixed it because I have tried that many times before!

I had to go to spotify settings, turn on local files, add storage location (Onedrive) and toggle on that and downloads. Then I started playing my local files and switched to a playlist and it worked.

Hello,

I couldn't get Spotify to play through my Laptop speakers after awhile, only through external speakers but I found a solution.

I went to the website open.spotify .com  using Web Player, logged in with my Spotify account information and now I can play on my Laptop, External Speakers, ,Alexa and more.

Hope this works for you

Thank you! Along the lines of this one but Spotify didn't appear as an App in the volume mixer because it couldn't play.

In Windows:

Settings > Sound > Volume Mixer > "Reset sound devices for all apps to the recommended defaults"

- this set Spotify back to the correct output for me

[AluXRAYS]

Spotify did appear in my Volume Mixer and I had tried to reset sound devices for all apps to the recommended defaults but nothing worked until I installed the Web Player App. Very strange how Spotify affects differently with all computers. At least we were able to get it to play again.
