Chromecast no audio

Help and Support

Hi!
First - great job to you all!

Now - i am very happy that you implemented chromecast as endpoint.

But after the update to the latest version 3.396 i don’t see any devices found under ‘cast’.
Then i made a factory reset and now i have all my chromecast devices listed but i cannot stream audio to them.
Last - i flashed the SD card with a fresh OS - but no change.

The Chromecast Audio sometimes make the ‘connect sound’ but not more.
The Sony Speaker and Google TV doesn’t connect at all.

So far no errors in the log.

Any ideas?

Switch to ‘Play here’ and back to Chromecast enables the sound (or connection) again.
