I am having the same problem and been having to research this issue for over a month. I use a PC connected through a VPN since I do not live in the US. It has worked flawlessly for a year , at least. Until recently, its pausing, buffering, not sure what it is doing. the music starts, in a minute or so it stops. I wait long enough it will pick back up where it left off, not later on in the song. then, it stops again. Looking at the "Currently Playing" page I can see that the progress bar is still active, but i do not hear anything. To quickly get back on tunes, I would have to click on "next" or F5 to refresh, but that's only good for another min before it does the same thing. I use the website on Chrome to listen. Network connection is impressively fast here, so its not an issue with connectivity or accessing the internet. I can stream YT, XM radio, BlastTV, and PLEX simultaneously without hesitation or buffering. If I use the app on Android, there is no issue, Just only on PC. I tested with BING, IE, Chrome...all doing the same thing. Clearing any cookies, resetting any browser yields no positive results. Restarting routers, switches, using a different PC, was all a waste of time. Something deeper is happening using Pandora website that is causing Pandora to have "epileptic seizures" and then come back normal for just a few minutes. I know the simple answer is to use my mobile device only, but its not the solution to the issue regarding streaming on PC. I am 90% PC use and 10% mobile...I hardly ever use a mobile device for anything. I'm sure someone will point fingers at my VPN but I have isolated that as a potential issue as I can stream pandora on VPN on their app, mobile devices, and it handshakes and connects fine with Pandora on PC. Logs indicate no problem and no packets lost. At first, this problem seemed to have taken place after Chrome updated a month ago, I assumed chrome broke Pandora. But when I switched to other browsers (Bing , IE, Firefox) it does the same thing regardless. It could be that Pandora is no longer playing nicely with Windows 11. Maybe I am over looking something, so I'm reaching out for any help or solutions. Seems one has not been found yet. I have used Pandora for close to 8 years.. Maybe its time to move on. I will make 1 more valiant attempt to troubleshoot in the mean time. My last test is to build a windows 10 PC and try on that OS.
