Ctedder, This problem has been ongoing for almost 2 decades.  Pandora has been aware of this issue the entire time, as I've  complained several times back in the days when your could call and talk to somebody -for my efforts I and got a snotty answer.  Pandora isn't going to fix it.  Instead of getting a snotty answer, we now get a person who asks you to jump through hoops with screenshots and emails.   I'm a senior citizen, I don't do screen shots and whatnot, but also realize that's Pandora admitting that their algorithms and genomes are an advertising gimmick and has been since that way the very beginning.  The intrusive junk we're all receiving on our stations is proof.  We're all wasting our time. For reasons of its own,Pandora will never fix this.  We just have to accept this and put up with it, or buy a car wit a CD player. ... View more

Hi @Jagiine  Welcome to community! Since you mentioned that this is happening on your laptop, I've created a new post in our Desktop Board. Since it's a different platform the issue is most likely unrelated. Can you tell me more about your experience when listening on your laptop: Does this happen immediately when you start playing Pandora or intermittently between songs? Do you have to restart your browser to get the sound to return? Which browser and version are you using? What is the make and model of your computer? Thanks! ... View more
