This recently started happening on my Pixel 7 (not Pro) phone. It was working fine, then about a month ago an OS update came down and it started happening. MMA will play and then suddenly the next song has no audio. I push Previous to go back to the beginning of the song and I have audio. Imagine a 2 hour drive manually returning the beginning of each song to get audio!

Gapless playback is a must for me, I listen to a LOT of live music. This issue occurs with MP3 and FLAC files (the two file types I listen to). At this point, since i haven't seen a reliable fix here, it's time to check out some other players and see if it happens.

Exact same here. Was happening on Pixel 3, upgraded to Pixel 6 Pro, same or worse than before. Nearly every automatic song advance plays muted, but skip or back will always play a song with audio. Happens just as much with internal speaker as it does over Bluetooth.

I suspect a permissions bug. When we press buttons that's the user initiating playback. When the song advances on its own that's the player...maybe crossfade plays a role too?

Edit: I might have actually got somewhere. I turned off audio transitions entirely and changed the playback notifications to "System". It was failing me nearly 100% of the time but now it has worked a couple times. We'll see.

Thank you dpmanthei!!!! My newly purchased Pixel 6 (And 7) were experiencing this exact problem on Pioneer car receiver FH-S700BS .

I also turned off "Audio Transitions" and changed notifications to "System". Problem gone!

Pixel 6 here. Same issue with muted tracks. Turning transitions off does prevent the muted track problem, but it still adds a gap between tracks which isn't great if you're listening to a live show, a continuous mix, or anything that carries music over from one track to the next.

Overall, a fix needs to be made.

Same problem here. 0% problem on my Pixel 3a, never happened. 100% problem on the Pixel 6a which I got yesterday - every time. YouTube Music plays song after song on the 6a without any problem.

Turned off transitions (they were on), and ensured that no casting was happening. After that change, MMA is back to working properly...so far.

Just in case, I sent [b]Log ID: 7LBP3NWEFD[/b]. Am hoping that I'll be fine now, but gather from previous posts that the problem can reoccur even with those settings. Don't want YouTube Music - I want my Monkey.

Just confirming that I also have the no sound on next song issue with Pixel 6 (not Pro). I just switched to the beta from the Play Store but issue still remains. Turning off audio transitions seems to be the fix so far.

I have a similar problem in that MMA will play my playlist, then the music stops. When I look at MMA, it plays about 3 seconds (no sound) of the next song in the playlist, then jumps to the next song in the playlist (no sound), and so on until I stop it. The only way I have found to correct this is to reboot my phone. My problem also started when I bought my Pixel 6. Prior to that, MMA ran flawlessly.

On a separate issue, I can't get continuous playing of a playlist unless I turn off gapless play. If gapless play is on, it plays a song, goes to the next song and appears to play it, but no sound on the device or any device if I am streaming via bluetooth.

I have exactly the same problem. However, it only started to happen after I upgraded from Pixel 3XL to Pixel 6 Pro.

I ended up here searching for a problem where, when the next track is reached, the sound is muted. Push next or back, and the sound is heard. Until 2 or 3 songs later.

Interestingly, I upgraded from a Pixel 3XL to Pixel 6 Pro, which seems to be the common denominator here.

I will turn off transactions and change playback notifications to system as per previous poster. Will let you know how I go.

My apologies, I do mean MMA. Basically, if you let it play, the 2nd or 3rd song will be silent. But if you click next or back, it will always play.

But my main question is how can I get back to non-beta MMA? With this current bug, app is basically unworkable.

Are you talking about MediaMonkey 5, not MediaMonkey for Android (this forum)? If so, please capture this in a debug log (step 4b) and attach the log to a Support Ticket: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=86643

This will help a developer to analyze why this happens on your setup.

I am using the MM5 beta builds as I am waiting on a fix. However, I have noticed another issue that was not there when I was not on beta builds. When playing, it seems like every 2nd or 3rd song is silent. If I click to next track, or back to start, the sound is back. But then happens again a couple of tracks later

All of this aside, how do I return to being a non-beta tester i.e. move back to the last GA version?

Back to question. Do you have received a log?

It is assigned to devs, they check received logs. What is the LOG ID?

Did you receive any log so far?

I have a theory that google os somehow creates a second pointer to the music library which will be shown to mmp. That pointer us somehow not complete. I synced a new playlist and it was visible in mmp. Next day, that playlist was missing... Using a file ecplorer i saw that in my music folder in Android the playlist was there. Un addition there were even still music files which i have desynchronized (deleted) using mmp sync....


So in Essence, when mmp checks for existing files, Android os seems to provide wrong information....



Back to question. Do you have received a log?

I had this issue on my Pix l 3xl and now it the same on my Pixel 6 upgrade.
