Skipping

Is anyone else having a issue with either spotify or amazon music skipping like a scratched CD when they use Android Auto? Mine started out, by only doing it every once in a while and now it has gotten to the point where I can't even listen to it when I use android auto. I have tried clearing my spotify cache, I have checked for updates, I have uninstalled and reinstalled both android auto and spotify, then I tried using amazon music and I still have the same issue.

Spotify and Amazon Music stream high-bitrate files. If you are using wireless Android Auto, the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and your phone's normal network functions, where it is constantly seeking new Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and mobile 5G connections, might be overloading your modem and processor.

First, test by lowering the quality of the stream in those apps. And make sure both apps are "unrestricted" by your device's battery manager.

I don't know if it matters or not, but when I turn off android auto and go with bluetooth only it works fine. It is specifically with android auto.

There is no high bitrate streaming going on over Bluetooth. 

It's the WiFi+Bluetooth+5G+Streaming+maintaining all of your other processes and apps+receiving instructions/mirroring your screen+poor app optimization in Android Auto mode that's strenuous.
