I'm having an odd issue with Spotify on my 2016 MacBook. When I have the audio playing via Airplay through my Airport Extreme + Apple TV and I open Safari, the audio cuts out a few times momentarily. It's as if there is insufficient buffering and there isn't enough bandwidth via my Airport Extreme to handle all the traffic at once. However, (1) there are no other devices connected to my network besides my iPhone, (2) the music on Spotify is already downloaded locally, so it appears to be an issue with the upload, (3) I can't imagine that any of these devices would be nearing their bandwidth limits, and (4) this didn't happen with my 2011 MacBook Air.

What's going on? Is this a bandwidth issue? A processor issue? Something else? Thanks!
