Audio and video pauses automatically

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.

    İ have founded that the problem is Amazon Echo device.

    When you connected that device to pc over bluetooth, it have permission to control media playback. I could not find a way to fix it.

    Also, most of the times, there is lag between video and sound.

    I think we both use old model Hp which have slow bluetooth chip on it.

    I dont have virus or malware in my pc, as scanners say😂

    Still could not find any reasonable solution except disconnecting bluetooth device , Amazon echo dot.

    It might be bug of echo dot as well.

    I've been struggling with this for a while now and after reading this thread, found my solution.  People keep talking about the Amazon devices being connected via bluetooth as the issue.  Well, I don't have any Amazon devices (more of a Google guy myself) connected but I did dig into my bluetooth settings and found a Jabra device connected that wasn't actually connected.  I removed the device (not just disconnecting it) and that fixed the issue right away.  So, take a look at what is connected via bluetooth.  Start removing audio devices one at a time and try to play a video.  I'm sure that'll fix it.

    Thanks for the response, Stephen. The only things that are connected to my computer via bluetooth, or wireless, are my keyboard, mouse, and WiFi Extender. One thing that I did forget to mention, is that when these videos stop, and the buffer wheel starts spinning, the videos are still completing their loading process. It's just the video and audio that stop, the "loading bar" under the video keeps loading, which is strange to me. Last night, I downloaded the WinZip Driver Downloader. When it scanned, it showed that I had like 10 drivers that needed to be updated. So, I updated them and we'll see how it goes tonight. It's weird though, because before I had WinZip, when I'd check my computer, it said that I had the most current versions of all my drivers. Maybe my computer wasn't detecting correctly, and the outdated drivers were the problem, I don't know yet. Or, maybe WinZip is just trying to get me to actually purchase their program. I'm about to hop on and play for a while, so I'll repost here in a couple hours and see if any changes have happened. Thanks again!
