music skips for milliseconds periodically when google home mini speaker is connected to other speake

Hi Experts,

I need help to fix the issue at hand-

Music pauses/skips for milliseconds periodically, every 4 to 5 seconds, when google home mini speaker is connected to other speakers via bluetooth. 

This is happening only during audio casting from any online audio streaming platforms like Youtube music, Spotify, or any xyz online sources for that matter. 

Kinda.. annoying..

Kindly note that the bluetooth speaker is NOT paired with phone, tablet, laptop. To be precise, google home mini is the only paired bluetooth music source.

Need insights and more importantly steps to fix the issue at hand.

Hi sayantan224,

Thank you for reaching out to the community. I see you’re having trouble with your Google Nest Mini, the music is pausing or skipping for milliseconds periodically every 4 to 5 seconds. The situation occurs when it is connected to other speakers via Bluetooth and when using any streaming service (such as YouTube Music, Spotify, etc.). I understand how frustrating this must be and I appreciate all the detailed information you provided. I’m glad to help.

To better assist you, please answer the following questions:

• When did the situation start?
• What model of Google Nest Mini do you have? (Here is a helpful article to identify the type of Nest Mini).
• What is the make and model of the third-party speaker you connected to the Nest Mini?
• What is the distance between the Google Nest Mini and third-party speakers from your router?
• Are the Nest Mini and third-party speakers connected to the same WiFi and linked to the same account, as well as your streaming services providers?
• Do you have a premium subscription for your streaming services providers?

Please keep me posted on your findings.

Regards,

Byron
