Premiere Pro 2020 stopping playback

[Jacek0D45]

Hello
My Premiere Pro 2020 is consantly stopping playback during the editing.
And this is not a case of performance or other tech issues known to me. It is just a clean video with no FX.

When I press space to start the playback, it plays for a 1-3 seconds and just stops, like I would be using keyboard to pause it.

Thank you all for responses.

After 2+ hours of trying to solve my problem, I tried disconnecting some of my USB devices, and that worked. I don't know how the hell this solved my problem, but I guess it had to do with my faulty camera.
I'm leaving this here, so maybe someone will find this useful.
Cheers and thank you.

Same problem. After I saw that everything worked for you after disabling the faulty camera, I decided to disable my camera on the laptop in the device manager. Now everything works!

There was a similar problem. Disabling external usb drives helped. But the problem returned when connecting the bluetooth speaker.

Thank you for your explanation. For only purposes who someone trying to solve this problem, my one was the mic. And it not was an usb plug, but the mic was the problem. After unplug the cable, the premiere back normaly.

Thanks.
