Sometimes There's No Sound from Apple Music

Hi there,


I listen to Apple Music on my MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019), macOS 12.1.


It's pretty often that when I play thru a playlist, after playing the last one without, the next one on the list will play, but there's no sound—the progress bar moves, lyrics runs, just no sound. I have to click the << button to start from the beginning of the “silent song” to make it work.


Could you help?

Thanks.

This is a streaming audio issue, not a volume level issue, where the audio from the stream totally drops out. Please carefully read the original post before you post an unhelpful and confusing reply.

Hi Catalium, We appreciate you reaching out to us. We understand that the last song of your playlist shows that it is playing but there is no audio.


We’d like to gather additional details that may help us be in a better position to assist you.

Is the issue happening to multiple playlists that have different last songs?

Are you using the built-in speaker when you experience the issue?


First, we recommend that you check if the issue persists when signed in on a different user account.

Hi Kamote,


Thanks for the reply.


It's not the “last” song that doesn't have sound. For example, if a playlist/album has music A, B, C, D, E... A & B plays fine, when C starts to play, it plays according to the progress bar, but there's no sound. If I click the << button to play it from beginning again, there the sound comes.


I was using the 3.5 mm earphone jack.

I don't have another Apple Music account to test with. I'll test with Safe Mode later.
