but, i usually cast from my phone so not a huge help. * casting direct from web browser to a group with no google devices but only speakers with builtin chromecast seems to work ok. i believe last night it was an older firmware, but today i see it is 94, and now causes this problem. * i have an older chromecast hdmi (gen2? bought in 2014) that previously did not cause this problem in a group. * i have a chromecast ultra hdmi that also causes this problem if it is in a speaker group.

Factory resetting the Chromecast Audio, both via the Home app and via the hardware button on the Chromecast Audio, several times, with no improvement When the Chromecast Audio is not in the Group, it works fine as a single speaker, and the other speakers work fine as a Group - but as soon as I add the Chromecast Audio back it interferes with playback. Removing the Chromecast Audio from the Group - this solves the problem, in the sense that the other speakers function fine when the Chromecast Audio does not interfere, but as soon as I add the speaker again, it interferes with audio playback in the entire group. Powering down and restarting all the devices (Chromecast Audio, each of the three M&D speakers, and my phone) - no difference Here's what I've tried in terms of troubleshooting: Also, the confirmation noise played by the Chromecast Audio when I begin casting to it sounds new - has Chromecast Audio received any updates recently? I thought it was discontinued, and would not get updates.

When I cast audio from either my podcasting app (Pocketcasts) or Youtube Music, which worked fine just two days ago, the sound plays but switches from one speaker to another at ~20 second intervals - it begins playing in only one speaker, then goes silent there and continues in 1 other speaker, etc. Yesterday the Chromecast Audio stopped working with the rest of the Group of speakers.

Over the last few years this has worked more or less perfectly - now and then I need to reboot a device, but generally it all works well, and I control it with the Google Home app (v.2.46.1.7), previously on a Google Pixel 4 and now on a Samsung Galaxy s21 Ultra running Android 12, OneUI 4.

For the rest of us, with stereos we love the sound of but without the deep pockets to continually upgrade them, the Chromecast Audio is like manna from heaven.I'm still using a Chromecast Audio, which has worked well for the last 2-3 years, to play music over the Aux port (3.5 mm) on my kitchen speaker. That's fine for the audiophile who can happily drop a grand on a set of peripheral speakers without blinking. You want streaming services on your expensive off-grid HiFi? You gots to pay. The rise of networked audio players has generally filled out the high-cost area of the market. It's managed to pick out a niche and offer an incredibly convenient, good-value and great-sounding way to fill it out. I'm a massive fan of the Chromecast Audio.

Try turning HDR on with a lower-quality system and you'll hear distortion as the weaker system struggles with higher volumes and trying to get the extra audio data out. And with good quality source material, from Tidal and above, the sound reproduction can be seriously impressive. There's far more separation between the instruments and vocals more pronounced. Turn it on with a decent stereo setup and the sound is suddenly nowhere near as compressed as it was before. It allows for the highest quality sound output and it really does make a difference. This is a setting designed for when connected to higher-end HiFi gear and not just some desktop speakers or dock system. But then there is the High Dynamic Range setting in the Chromecast Audio's settings.
