Every time spotify goes to the next song it will lags for a second

[Gytis]

I have samsung hw-990b soundbar, I set it up this soundbar as a default speaker for my google nest mini by pairing it via bluetooth connection, now when say "Hey google, play my liked songs" it starts playing on the soundbar but problem is that when spotify goes to the next song it will play for 1 second then stops for around 1 second and keeps playing normally but that thing that it gets stuck for around 1 second when song already started is very annoying.

btw i tried solving this by pairing default speaker using selection from SmartThings, it didn't worked music kept playing on google nest mini even though default speaker was selected from SmartThings application, so i had to switch to bluetooth pairing.

I tried to reduce distance from google nest mini to the speaker to minimum it didn't helped, if i play music on spotify and directly select soundbar it works normally, only when i select google nest mini which has default speaker as a soundbar i get this problem.

any other way how i should fix this? my goal is to make google assistant to play music directly on the soundbar and i'm out of ideas.

Hey Gytis,

To confirm, have you had the chance to call the manufacturer of your speaker?

hey, i wrote to them. so basically they said, it's a google trademark and chromecast is not supported in some countries. so i assume you should now better if chromecast is supported in Lithuania.
this is Lithuania samsung's official page.

Hey Gytis,

Chromecast is not available for sale in Lithuania. Please note that it is best if you could verify with the manufacturer if your device have a built-in Chromecast or not. Also, we need to get the current cast firmware version of your speaker to see if it still supported.

Thanks for understanding.

hello @Muddi , manufacturer said `chromecast is not supported in some countries`, so Lithuania is one of them i guess.

Hi Gytis,

I can confirm that Chromecast is not supported in your country. That's the reason why you are experiencing issues using your soundbar with your Google Home and Nest speakers.

cool, is it possible that it will be supported in the future? 

also what to do now? bluetooth works but it's lagging, is there any way how to fix that?

[Muddi]

Hey  Gytis,

We don't have any information about that. I recommend you send feedback on your speakers regarding any features that you're looking forward to on your Google Home and Nest devices.

For the Bluetooth issue, do you experience the same issue when using a different device like a phone or tablet?

I'll wait to your response.
