Pandora won't play anything!

All it does is cycle through my song list without playing anything. It shows a song, and then within seconds, without playing a note, it shows the next song. It does this a few times until a message box is presented saying, "Refresh or Help". What gives? I'm getting this on Brave, Firefox, and Edge, so it doesn't seem to matter what the browser technology is.

I found the problem, though I don't think it should be a problem.

I have a Line-6 Helix connected to my desktop via USB.

If the audio output is set to the Helix when I start Pandora, I have the problem described in the top post.

If I simply set the audio output to the desktop's sound device, Pandora will work normally. Then I can switch the audio output to the Line-6 Helix, and Pandora will continue to work normally. Pandora can't start properly when the audio output is set to Line-6 Helix over the USB.

I suspect that Pandora has a problem with USB-connected audio devices.
