Hi, I'm about to go crazy...
I have Google Play All Access, Spotify and Pandora One which I use for music and I seem to be having a new problem of the music playing for a few seconds the cutting out on all services. This also includes YouTube. I use Google Chrome developer build normally I tried using beta build, and stable builds as well as FireShit and IE both propose the same problem. With spotify the client and web client both exhibt the same problem. With Google Play Music I've tried HTML5/Flash versions.
My internet is 100mb/s and I'm getting betweek 60-80mb/s down and 30-40 up on average when these instances occur. I've sent a bug report to Google and Pandora and both services kindly replied with "its something on your end". No other PC on the network is having these problems; and on my tablet, chromebook and phone streaming media works fine on Wifi.
I've had these services before without problem (obviously, why would I pay like 25 a month for all of them) so I'm a little confused as to why this is happening. I did notice the problem right after the latest Java update (57) which I reverted backed to 56 which had no cure to the issue.
I'm honestly out of options just know that I need music. I cannot do my school work or even client work without music or I'll go mad. Any ideas?

I have no idea other than doing things like restarting your modem and/or computer/end any useless programmes that are running, but I gather you've already tried that and have a computer that can more than handle a few normal programmes. :rolleyes:

Not sure about this, but the closest experience I've had would be those cases of "why does the YouTube player go silent after x seconds?" as I sometimes use music from online playlists.
Aside from any problems the Java might have caused, the only question I could ask would be if anything has been up with your CPU/RAM usage lately.

Nothing really been consuming the CPU or ram; I have 4.5 gb ram and PC uses roughly 20-30% when I'm doing these things and CPU usage only goes about 50% when I play games. I have a quad core.

Have you checked the logs?

System logs? Nothing. Chrome Developer tools console also shows nothing :/

Via event viewer, yes. Might want to play something and see if it auto-updates.

The newest Java update is known to be blocking many apps, that were working so far. I have been contacted with such issue multiple times.
What if you go to Control Panel, Java, Security tab and set it to Medium. Does it fix it?

AFAIK, all of those services have fully-fledged desktop apps  have you tried any of those?

Both Spotify/Pandora One clients have the same problem.

No fix on Google Play Music or Pandora; YouTube seems to work without any interruptions.

I get this same issue on occasion. It would be great if a solution would come to play. I have done everything that Teddy has mentioned, along with other things that do not fix the issue.

It's been pretty persistent for the last two weeks and I have finals coming up :S

Try these free options to feed your music hunger. :)

http://www.sky.fm/
Jango is just like Pandora.
or try this software (http://myiphide.com/#r=23360), this is what I use to listen to Pandora ^_^ , its free(trial) and removes any network side restrictions.

Sounds like your internet may be being throttled with certain kinds of traffic. It is probably related to what you and I discussed last night, Teddy.

I can access Media Streaming just fine (Twitch and last.fm for example) and others. Youtube and Pandora and such is what I am having issues with.
