Soundcloud ads hang

[DTV96Calibre]

Description

Playback freezes up when ads play (the ad isn't heard or seen) and continues (presumably) after the ad has finished.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Log into Soundcloud
2. Find a track to play under Likes and click on it to start it.
3. Soundcloud will eventually attempt to play an ad. Music playback will hang for a bit and may begin again, presumably when the ad is expected to end.

Actual result:

Soundcloud playback freezes, including the ability to select different songs when an ad attempts to play.

Expected result:

Song playback plays immediately when selecting for playback.

Reproduces how often:

Easily reproduced. You may have to play a few songs before Soundcloud attempts to play an ad.
