Hello, i have a dell G5 5500 and i am facing the same problem. My Laptop isnt connected to any bluetooth devices and the bug still happens

I am having the same, but, I cant even watch youtube. Do you use echo dot?

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.

I am experiencing the same problem. Just started. I even reinstalled Chrome. After reading through these pages, I realized it started after I connected my echo speaker to computer over Bluetooth. I turn off Bluetooth and pause works again. I still want to use my speaker, what is the fix??
