Audio and video pauses automatically

Anonymous

Audio and video pause automatically (and sometimes pause and play) only when I use an internal (Youtube, google) or 3rd party software (windows media player, VLC, films &TVs ).

  1. It happens only when I am playing a video or audio.
  2. No virus (after scan)
  3. Since the spacebar key is usually associated with play & pause, I tried typing something in MS word. I did not see any auto space being generated between 2 letters. (tested for 5 mins)
  4. Autoplay and pause (sometimes just pause) occur maybe after 20 seconds. (it is random)
  5. I can actually see the virtual pause and play button is toggled. (no other error message is shown, it happens as if I am physically pressing the spacebar key.
  6. issues in Windows 10  

7. the window also very lag when it happening

  1. Driver issues? Which driver is it? Any suggestions or experiences? Please share your thoughts.

    I have the same issue but i notice this problem only happens when my computer is connected bluethooth with my alexa dot, when i change de audio output to defaults laptop this bug stops happen.

    UPDATE: 30/07/2020

    In my case i found that my alexa dot is controlling my laptop via bluethooth, and when i pause directly in my laptop something like video, music or anything that plays music it starts inmediately, but if i stop via command voice to alexa it stops and don't starts again, i don't know if theres the issue with some divices connected to the pc's that could controll it remotely

    Hi, I am also facing similar issues.

    ie. 1. video (playing through the inbuilt video player and even through VLC) is automatically playing/pausing after few seconds (which is very irritating)

    1. Even audio is also doing the same.
    2. The above two issues happen every time.
    3. Also, I have noticed that I cannot drag and drop tabs in google chrome and even cannot drag the icons on the taskbar. 

    I have updated most of the lastest drivers from the HP website.

    I am using windows 10 pro and model No. is 

    HP Notebook - 15-bs658tx.

    Because of the above issues, I am unable to listen to music or watch any videos.

    Note that i am able to watch video online i.e. on youtube without any interruptions.

    I guess everyone are experiencing the same problem as mine, the video player/youtube etc. keep playing and pausing repeatedly and it's annoying. 

    When i start investigate the problem, i found the root cause (but not the cure), it is the keyboard problem. Somehow, some bug or software repeatedly and randomly "activating" the shortcut key of Media-Play-Pause function. In my case of HP Envy 17 laptop, it is the Fn + F10 shortcut key. You can prove this by checking your keyboard with some online keyboard tester. Apart from the media play/pause problem, i guess this also explain the other problem i occasionally experience: unable to type Capital letter for certain alphabeit (eg. Shift + a; Shift + k etc.)

    I'm not sure how my laptop got this problem but it starts to happens few days ago. 

    I have done all the virus scan, driver update, etc etc but still can't solve this problem. So I suspect it could be the recent window update which has crashed with HP shortcut key. 

    Anyone here can help develop a cure would be great. 

    P/S: I haven't tried the keytweak solution yet, to disable some shortcut key. If this solution works then I will update you guys.

    Hello, I have the issue, try to press shift when your media starts pausing as a temporary solution.
