Recently, guessing over the last month, when I'm playing Pandora via AirPlay (HomePod or Apple TV or Receiver) from iPhone Pandora app, as soon as an ad finishes, Pandora stops playing. When I look at my phone/Pandora app, it shows that the song is playing, yet I don't hear anything. When I switch the audio output back to my phone I hear that song playing. So it is not that the music stops, it's that the AirPlay listening is quiet. In other words, the ad interrupts the AirPlay from working properly. I have to quit the Pandora app and start the music and AirPlay audio selection again. I can't simply go toggle back to AirPlay as audio output to fix this. Since Pandora can't play beyond the commercial break, I switch music sources. This has to be a major issue with many, yet I can't find a solution online so I'll add to this thread in hopes that something can be fixed. BTW, Apple Music via AirPlay from the same iPhone plays without incident.
