I have an Apple TV (4k 2nd) that I use to play Spotifty on my HomePod. But every few songs (I cannot seem to find a pattern to it) it goes silent. It is not buffering, you can see the music is still playing. If I play on my iphone, ipad, or Macbook and air play to the homepod it does not seem to happen, just the Apple TV. I just tried reinstalling the Spotify app and it is still happening.

Has anyone had experience fixing this? Or have ideas for a remedy?

    Same thing happens through the TV. Spent another 3 hours in chat again today. Supposedly they are going to email me for further support.

      That’s good, at least you now know it’s the app or the Apple TV OS. The HomePods are good.

      Have you tried playing Apple Music, Pandora, Prime Music, etc? Does the same thing happen? With another music app? If not, I’d chalky this up to a Spotify bug, and I’d ask them how to file a bug report.

        Yeah, I played Apple Music for hours with no issue. Apparently Spotify knows this is an issue (it is a known issue on Android), but only one of the 20+ different reps I spoke with yesterday said this and then today one said it absolutely was not.
