Audio pauses every couple seconds.

[Android Central Question]

My Galaxy J7 Prime's been doing this for a month or two now. It doesn't happen all the time but every so often when I'm listening to music or a podcast the audio app pauses. When I unpause it, it just pauses again seconds later. All audio is downloaded and not streamed with no issues on other platforms/devices.Motions and gestures/voice command are turned off. App is irrelevant, I've tried several different audio apps but the problem persists. I have tried closing all other apps. This issue occurs with and without headphones. I performed a factory reset which solved the issue for about a week but it eventually returned. Any help would be fantastic, thanks.
