iPhone 13 iOS 15 - CarPlay doesn’t play music

I had an iPhone 12 with iOS 15, everything was working fine and dandy.

I upgraded to iPhone 13 and now music does not play using CarPlay when I am using either Spotify or Apple Music.

I have a 2018 Audi and I use lighting to connect to CarPlay.

When I click on a song either using Spotify or Apple Music my CarPlay app shuts down.

CarPlay works and does not shut down when I use Google maps or Apple podcasts. But as soon as I click on a song Apple CarPlay just shuts down.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

THIS is what worked! You, Brutus161, are the real hero.

Unplug the phone. Go to Settings > Music > EQ and turn one on. I turned on Latin. Then play a song for about a minute on the phone, not on CarPlay. Then, go back to Settings > Music > EQ and turn the EQ off. Plug your phone back in and voila! It should work.
