If your vivo S50 suddenly refuses to play music, you tap a song and nothing happens. Sometimes it loads but does not produce sound. Other times, it crashes or skips tracks.
This issue is usually caused by app glitches, missing permissions, corrupted files, or audio output conflicts. The good news is that you can fix it with a few simple steps.
Why Your vivo S50 Music Player Is Not Playing Songs
- The Music app has a temporary glitch.
- Storage permission is disabled.
- The audio output is connected to Bluetooth or another device.
- The song file is corrupted or unsupported.
- The app cache is overloaded.
1. Restart the Music App
Sometimes the app simply gets stuck in the background. Closing it completely refreshes its processes and clears temporary errors.
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen, and then pause to open Recent apps.
Swipe the Music app away, and then reopen it from the home screen.
Try playing a song again.
2. Restart Your Phone
A restart refreshes the audio system and background services. It also resets any temporary system conflicts that may prevent playback.
Press and hold the Power key, and then tap Restart.
Wait for the device to reboot, and then open the Music app again.
Check if your songs now play normally.
3. Check App Permissions
If the Music app cannot access your storage, it will not detect or play songs. This often happens after updates or permission changes.
Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
Tap Music, and then tap Permissions.
Make sure Files and media access is allowed.
4. Check Audio Output
Your vivo S50 might be connected to a Bluetooth speaker or wireless earbuds. If that device is disconnected or out of range, playback may appear silent.
Open Settings, and then tap Bluetooth.
Check if a device is connected, and then disconnect it if necessary.
Try playing music through the phone speaker.
5. Clear the Music App Cache
Overloaded cache files can cause playback issues. Clearing the cache removes temporary data without deleting your songs.
Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
Tap Music, and then tap Storage.
Tap Clear cache, and then reopen the app.
6. Check the Music File Format
Some music files may be corrupted or saved in unsupported formats. If only certain songs fail to play, the file itself may be the problem.
Try playing a different song, and then test another music file.
If needed, re-download the affected track in MP3 format.
Avoid unsupported file types.
7. Update the Music App
App bugs can cause playback problems. Updating ensures compatibility with the latest system version.
Open the App Store, and then search for the Music app.
Tap Update if available, and then restart the app.
Test playback again.
Music playback issues on the vivo S50 are usually minor and easy to fix. Once you refresh the app, check permissions, and confirm audio output settings, your songs should start playing normally again.
FAQs
Why does my vivo S50 Music app keep skipping songs?
This may happen if the audio file is corrupted or if the app cache is overloaded. Clearing cache or re-downloading the song often fixes it.
Why is my music playing but there is no sound?
Your phone might be connected to a Bluetooth device, or the media volume may be turned down. Check both settings before assuming the app is broken.
Does clearing the Music app data delete my songs?
Clearing cache does not delete songs. However, clearing app data may remove playlists stored inside the app but will not delete music saved in your phone storage.
