Spotify Media Output notification won't go away

Fairela — Wed, 12 Jul 2023 20:34:17 GMT

I've tried deleting Spotify and reinstalling it and this notification keeps reappearing in my tray after I've dimissed it. I can't get it to go away. I'm not even listening to Spotify right now! The app is closed. Why does this continue to appear there?

***Edited to add that the following steps solved the problem for me:

1. Go to Settings on your phone (phone is on OS 13)

2. Select "Apps"

3. Select the filter/sort icon next to the "Your apps" header above the list of app results

4. Turn the "Show system apps" toggle to ON

5. Select "OK"

6. Scroll to "Media and devices" in the list of app results and select it

7. Select "Notifications"

8. Select "Nearby Devices" under "Allowed"

9. Select "See all apps with this permission"

10. Locate and select the offending app (in my case, this was Spotify)

11. Select the "Deliver quietly" option for the app

Turn off the Notification Category for Spotty that shows it

Pull down the Quick Access menu from the top all the way.
Tap the More icon (three vertical dots)
Tap Quick Panal Layout
Tap Device Control and Media Buttons

I get this with my Bible app. Drives me nuts. I ended up wiping app data and that seems to fix it for a while. Until I play audio from within the app. Spotify is all audio so that would be crazy to wipe data each time. Even force closing the app, the notification would appear again on its own. 😡

That is already set to "Don't Show"

Yes, wiping the app data is the only thing that fixes it for a while until I happen to listen to Spotify again. Then the notification comes back over and over. It is frustrating

Figured it out finally.

1. Go to App Notification Settings
2. Select All Apps
3. Search for Media and Devices
4. Change Alerts --> Deliver Quietly

Hope this helps you folks!

This keeps popping up on my S22 Ultra. I swipe it away, but it keeps coming back! How do I stop this??

So far this seems to remove it at all times (even when I'm listening to Spotify). I would prefer to never see it rather than always see it. Thank you!

Doesn't work. The panel reappears every time I play audio from any app.

I already have it set to "Don't show", but it comes back every time I play music from any app, whether Spotify or Samsung Music. I've even contacted Samsung tech support and gave them access to my phone, twice, and they were unable to fix it. Who should I contact now?

I think your use case is an edge case. Why would you not want the panel to appear when you are listening to music?

I don't think this is an issue with the device or software, just a function that isn't supported.

Same here. I hate it and can't get rid of it.

I tried doing this but there is no Media and Devices option for me to select.

The same thing happens to me😭. I hate it. I listen to Pandora, and it just keeps making it sound like I received a message, and during change of songs it makes multiple notification sound. Another annoying thing that it adjusts volume on it's own it will quiet and next moment it will blasting. I hate new update. It all started after update

For sake how do we get rid of this??? Maybe it's called " This phone " that's what it says with a music note by it . So it's definitely a system thing

If it helps, I think this might also have something to do with connecting to a Bluetooth speaker. I swear this started happening after I played Spotify from my phone on a Bluetooth speaker. I haven't tried messing with that though since the steps provided in the Accepted Solution of this post fixed the issue for me.
