Songs cut short

When I play back my liked music on Google speakers, on many (not all) songs, the last part (seconds or minutes) gets cut off.  It goes to the next song.  I don’t notice it running (when I’m listening on my ear buds via mobile), but it could be because I’m not paying as much attention.  I tried a few remedies suggested by AI including reducing sound quality setting to see if that had an impact, but it didn’t.

    Hi, have you tried the following already?

    Unlink and Relink Deezer: Open the Google Home app > Settings > Music. Tap Unlink next to Deezer, wait a moment, and then link your account again to refresh the digital connection token.

    Turn off Crossfade: Open the Deezer app on your phone, go to Settings (gear icon) > Audio settings, and ensure Crossfade is turned off, as this setting often confuses Google speaker queues.

    Unplug your speaker from the wall for 60 seconds to clear its internal hardware cache.

    I've had the same thing on a smart speaker at home, and turning crossfade off in the app made a real difference for me, so that's well worth trying first. Does it happen on every speaker in the house, or just one of them?
