S7 Audio fades out shortly after playing media

[AC Question]

Brand new Samsung S7 From Verizon. The phone cuts the audio from most media played from the phone within seconds. This occurs with the following apps: YouTube, Tunein Radio, Periscope, Rainy Mood, and Twitter. I have not found much information about this on the internet; the consensus seems to be Samsung is aware of the problem and "eh"... Please any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have the same issue. Audio will work for a few seconds at the start of a YoutTube video then cut out. Usually will come back on later if I continue playing the video without audio for a while. Audio also cuts out on locally stored video.

Seems to also cut out when I tap on the back on the device.

New Galaxy S7 here (just purchased less than a month ago).

Any resolution? I have tried disabling USB audio routing, Bluetooth scanning (I turned Bluetooth completely off), as well as turning easy mute off. Still experiencing the same problem.
