Major bug with Windows Mobile app

[user-removed]

I have the same problem on Lumia 950. Restart of the whole phone usualy helps but why other apps using audio work with no problem?

Same happening here on a fully updated LUMIA 950 XL. Just got the phone - this is a real pain..

@MaryC1 This is still broken. Every time I want to start spotify I need to restart the phone. 

Using a Lumia 950, OS version 10.0.14393.448, Spotify version 5.2.4.0

Same problem here. have to restart the phone to use Spotify. Must be some initiating problem where it tryes to connect to the "sound card".

Fix it please! It is a major issue!

Same problem here. I ducking hate Spotify for this stupid bug. I'm paying for premium service and all I get it's this bug. Come on. I do not want to restart my phone two times to listen to music. It is so frustrating!

Since Spotify is not fixing their major bugs for 4 f*****g months, I stopped paying for such a bad service and switched to D-E-E-Z-E-R premium+. Their app is much more reliable and I'm finally able to enjoy my music without such a Spotify-pain. So problem is solved for me...bye Spotify. 😄

I haven´t had any issues with this bug on my Lumia 950 XL since mid august. I restart my phone every night before charging, dont know if that helps. I have the premium subscription.

That is literally the single workaround posted above you :D. I don't restart my phone ever, nor do I want to - especially to launch an app.

Are you serious? Why to restart phone every night? That is not solution. Smartphones should work without restarting. Mine is almost 8 days up. But I want stable and working applications when I'm paying money for it. And this bug is annoying. It can appear soon after restart also.

I´ve always had a habit of restarting my mobile phones almost every night. I have no clue if this is why Spotify app works fine for me. I also had problems with the same error earlier, but then I also restarted my phone almost every night, so I´m not sure if it helps.
