This has been going on for a month or two, where Spotify will show that it's playing, the progress bar shows time advancing, it loads the graphic and track name, but no sound comes out. Maybe every handful of tracks will it actually play. It happened intermittently at first and now it's all the time.
It doesn't matter if I ask the device to play music, try to select music on Spotify from either of my Nest Hub Max screens, cast from my iPhone, iPad, or cast from my MacBook (both my personal or work computers). It doesn't matter which device I ask, whether it's a Nest Hub Max or a Mini. And I can cast from the Spotify app on my MacBook to my Samsung TV just fine.
Streaming other things like various NPR stations or Pandora works. This is specifically an issue with the Google Nest plus Spotify.
I have already searched the forum. I have had a Spotify premium account for years, nothing has changed recently with my account, I've restarted my devices, and nothing fixes this issue. It's not tied to a specific music or playlist and it doesn't coincide with Spotfiy outages.
At this point I'm ready to throw away my devices because routines are already useless once they switched to time delay sequences rather than time-specific.
