Streaming issues for Blackpink songs on different devices

As the title says, I've recently noticed a high pitched beeping sound on songs from Blackpink.  All songs from their latest album has this issue.

Hey folks,

 

Thank you for reporting this issue to us.

 

We just wanted to let you know that we've looked into this thoroughly and it seems to be a matter of content availability, which we do not have direct control of.

 

We'll mark this as NRN as we cannot change this on our own, but our teams have reached out to the distributor of the content and will work together to hopefully find a solution in the future

 

Thanks again!

The issue isn't about sound quality but a high pitched buzzing noise which occurs over the track of the song. I've already tried to adjust the audio quality from low to very high but the issue still persists.

Hi it seems it happens to many people, it’s weird because in the first songs i heard that weird sounds were As If It’s Your Last, Playing With Fire, Boombayah, Whistle and NOW is DDU-DU DDU-DU, Forever Young and Kill This Love that sounds are kind like annoying and i check in all my devices and i still hearing that sounds, please guys fix this. it’s weird because this isn’t happen with everyone just to many people.

Hey @julioruiz12

 

Thanks for posting - we’re here to help!        
 

Could you confirm if you can still hear this sound after running a clean reinstall of Spotify on all your devices? We recommend this step since it'll get you the latest app version with all necessary updates. 

 

If you still observe this after a clean reinstall you can report this to the relevant Spotify team. Check out this help page on how to report the issue you've spotted. 

 

Hope this helps. Keep us posted.

I've been having the same issue recently. Did you ever find a fix?

Hey @Telesto ,

 

Thanks for reaching out to the Community with this one.

 

Could you try logging out and back in to your account two times in a row? This prompts a resync with our servers. If that doesn't fix things, it's possible that some of the app files have gotten damaged. This is usually resolved by performing a clean reinstall using these ​​​​​​​steps. They are more thorough and make sure that no leftover files remain.

 

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on how it goes.

Hey @Mihail,

 

Thank you for trying to help me.

 

Unfortunately, none of these solutions fixed the problem.

All these songs as well:
spotify:track:6hvczQ05jc1yGlp9zhb95V
spotify:track:4lQsB3ERTWSNaAN1IkuNRl

I've also done pretty much all the troubleshooting I can from my side, it seems like it's a problem on spotify's side of things. It also only happens on the desktop app for me. This is the version I'm using: 1.1.52.687.gf5565fe5 (Microsoft Store-version)
