So for the last couple of months, seemingly randomly, my music players and even YouTube just start refusing to play anything until a reboot. When I press the play button the media will play for a half second and sound will come out but it instantly pauses itself again. Does anyone else have this issue?

I was happy to see that Pandora recently released an official app for Google Android. I love Pandora and have been using it on my PC and my old Windows Mobile phone for a while.
Since I've been using Pandora on Android I've noticed a strange bug. After playing a couple songs through Pandora, the stock Music app fires up on its own and starts playing over the top of Pandora. This is extrememly annoying! I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing this problem and if so, has anyone found a solution.
The obvious solution is to switch to the music app and pause the song that is playing over the top of Pandora. However, this often locks up both apps requiring me to power off the phone to get Pandora to work again - then repeat this process over and over and over. Help!
This happens to me all the time, but I've not had the lock up problem. I usually listen on my headphones, and the button on the adapter piece pauses the Music app, so I don't have to switch around. Hope that helps.
I've got a really annoying problem; when listening to music on the headphones that came with the phone and a call comes in, the music appropriately stops to answer the call. But when the call ends, for any app other than the stock touchwiz music app, music will not start playing again until I unplug and replug in the headphones. It says music is playing, but no sounds comes through. The stock music app is mehh, I far prefer play music or power amp. Has anyone found a fix for this problem?

No, but it is annoying. You can also pause for maybe between one and two minutes then hit play again to make it start.
Also found that unplugging/plugging doesn't work if done too close to the end of the call.
Edit : fix ... see two posts down:
On beans 11 play music works. The only problem is occasionally when a song ends the next one won't start until I turn the screen on. But in terms of phone calls it fixes my problem

Okay, figured out the problem.
Go to settings, then motion, and at the bottom of the list uncheck (palm touch to mute)
Especially being in a case, it triggers the proximity sensor and mutes the music.
Haven't had a problem since I found aand unchecked this setting, so at least foe me that's what the issue was.
Whilst listening to locally stored tracks on Google Play or cached/streaming songs on Soundcloud, I experience odd audio playback behaviour on my Nexus 5.
Music sometimes skips to random parts of the track - with earlier or later parts of the song disrupting the order of the song. It's as if I tapped a random part of the track's time bar. Very frequently these random sections then repeat. On other occasions one part of the song will simply repeat over and over again (up to 5 times). Most commonly, a song will just skip a couple of seconds ahead of itself once or twice.
This issue happens only occasionally, but it's very annoying and worrying when it happens. It's also very difficult to reproduce under controlled conditions. There is very little rhyme or reason to when it happens. In the past I've noticed the problem, checked the phone, restarted the song / app and the problem goes away. I've searched for the problem on google and xda, but can't find anything relevant.
What would be your take on the problem? Is this a hardware or a software problem? Should I factory reset or RMA? Everything is entirely stock and I have no other problems with the phone.
Some crazy speculative theories: Maybe the phone's low power music playback state causes this problem. Perhaps the device sometimes mis-reads song data in its memory. Or maybe it's just an app / playback software bug. I don't think the song data itself is corrupted because different parts of songs skip each time and sometimes songs play back without any problems at all
Are you stock?

I doubt it's a hardware issue...have you tried different music players?

Greetings all!
I'm having a strange phenomenon when listening to music on my Pixel from Google Play Music (untested in other apps as I have all-access)... my music will randomly stop/pause. The app and persistent notification show the icon as if it's still playing (not paused or stopped) but there is no sound, seconds do not advance, never gets to the next song, etc. It's worth noting perhaps that this seems to happen towards the end of a song, for instance when there's maybe 20-30 seconds of the song left. I feel like it has something to do with whenever it might start to preload or buffer the next song in queue??
After I give the app a fresh restart it seems to work fine for a while.. anywhere from 15 minutes to hours. There seems to be no pattern that I can tell. The only other thing I'm thinking is that maybe an app I'm using is for some reason causing a glitch but I really only use like Facebook, Gmail, texting, calling, and a time clock app. I've never had problems until I got the pixel so it definitely seems somewhat device-specific.
It does this when listening to music thru BT or with headphones plugged in.
The quickest way I can fix this is to manually press Pause in Play Music persistent​ notification, and then swipe it away, press the Square and Clear All. With headphones I can just re-open Play Music and press play.. on BT I have to cycle BT off/on (I think, I actually don't think I've ever tried it without cycling BT), then re-open Play Music... Sometimes it will automatically continue where it left off when I re-open the app, other times I have to manually press play again. You can imagine this being quite annoying and potentially dangerous as it usually happens when I'm using BT in my car while driving.
I've tried clearing the cache, clearing data, and even a full wipe. I'm using Pure Nexus ROM currently, but had the same problem when trying Resurrection Remix. I have literally never used the stock OS, I rooted it the day I got it and installed unofficial Lineage... I don't recall having this problem in LOS but I only used it for a few days before trying PN, RR, and then back to PN.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Or does anyone have some potential ideas to fix the problem?
Mine does the same thing the fix for me is not use Google play music. Play music has done this no matter what ROM I was on
I have a Samsung s8+ with the latest pie update.
About a couple of weeks ago I started having an issue where Pandora would stop playing every few minutes. At first I thought it was random, but turns out it pauses a few seconds after the 2 and 7 minutes on the clock. It doesn't matter when I hit play, at xxx:x2:?? and xxx:x7:?? the song will stop playing (I haven't taken the time to figure out the exact second). If I hit play again, it starts right up until the next 2 or 7 minute.
I've restarted my phone, cleared cache, reinstalled Pandora - whether playing songs online or offline, the behavior doesn't change. I don't have any issue playing songs through Google Music.
I'm not sure if this is an issue with Pandora or another app on my phone - any thoughts on how to further troubleshoot this?
