Hi there @caseoh213! I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this.

Have you already tried switching to another internet connection or using a different device to see if the issue persists?

Also, could you check if you're using a VPN? Sometimes, VPN services can cause interruptions while listening.

Keep me posted on how this goes!

I have the same issue, i use a VPN but it worked previously, i tried a reinstall, same issue, logged out and all the basic stuff, it works on the phone app with no issues and in the browser version, i tried updating my audio driver aswell but the issue persists

I am coming with a quick update, i made a clean reinstall and updated my motherboard drivers and everything i could (windows update included), now works with VPN running aswell, i don't know exactly what solved the issue but it's fixed for now.
