Apple on Windows - Songs stop playing after exactly 15 seconds

I use Apple Music for PC on Windows 11.

Lately, once every two songs (exactly two songs), the song stops playing after exactly 15

seconds. It still runs visually but nothing is heard, until I replay it.

Tried all the generic solutions, spare me the "restart your computer" and "uninstall and reinstall"

Windows, Windows 10 (19045)

How to fix the 14 second song playback issue on Mac? While playing songs on my MacBook or iMac in the Music app (former iTunes) some, but not all, songs stop after exactly 14 seconds. From then on these songs will not play more than 14 seconds. The Genius Bar at my local Apple Store could not solve the problem. The problem does not occur on my iPhone or iPad. Very strange and quite annoying. Does anyone else have this problem and if so, has any solution worked for you. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple Music on Mac randomly stops playing. It can be half way or more through a song and it will just stop playing and won't start again. Sometimes it doesn't start randomly working again until the next day. Software is up to date, experienced this issue on multiple different OS'. Bluetooth is of and ISP connection is solid. This issue doesn't happen on iPhone, further supporting that ISP isn't the issue.

Apple Music Stops Playing Mid-Song I'm streaming music both from my ripped songs and Apple Music and the songs stop after about 20 seconds of play. The controls still show the music as playing, but the time counter is stopped and there is no sound. I can resume it by hitting pause then play, and the same thing happens. I read on another post that this can be caused by having music on too many devices. I have I can listen to my music and Apple Music without a problem on my other computer. What do I need to do to fix this?
