[SOLVED] Audio cuts out in Spotify when another application closes

Audio playback in Spotify cuts out shortly when another audio playback application is closed.
This happens for example if I close a concurrent audio playback in my browser.
I can reproduce this also with opening the GNOME control center and switching from Audio back to another option.
If I just pause the audio playback in my browser there is no cut out in Spotify.
I don't experience any cut outs with other applications, only in Spotify.

I don't know if it is just a problem with Spotify or with my system?
I'am using Pipewire and replaced Pulseaudio and Jack2.
I could not narrow it down with following journalctl or dmesg outputs, they show nothing new when the cut outs happen.

EDIT: I'am using the Spotify application. I have a dual boot system and could test it successfully with Windows without any cut outs.

Same problem with KDE Plasma. I have started using Spotify (web player) in the browser (Google Chrome), so it works fine for me.

Then it seems that the problem is in the application of Spotify.
Thank you for your reply.
