Chromecast extension No sound - Google Chromecast

So basically i got the chromecast, i set it up and everything works fine. The next day while using the chrome extension the sound stops out of nowhere(it worked perfectly the day before). Its not able to send sound via the extension when casting a tab to the TV. I reseted chromecast twice, tried different hdmi, different tv nothing. Any suggestions what it might be ?
Youtube and netflix works fine, its just when casting a tab that i am not getting sound. And yes audio mode is on.
Also wanted to add that i am not getting sound when opening an .mp4 video with chrome and casting it

Got the same problem.... The weird thing is that on my laptop the sound keeps going on the laptop, but no sound on the tv... On my gamer LAN pc there is not sound at all when casting a tab.. Youtube works fine on both machines...
Please update the post if you find a solution..

[Q] Allshare - playing HD movies from PC

Hello,
I would like to be able to play HD 720p movies on my SGN over wifi network, but even though I'm using the "n" standard I only get "signal to weak" message (even standing near my router). Standard 480p videos play ok. The strange thing is that I'm able to play 720p videos from SGN on my computer (even though they are not fluid - but maybe it's codec thing...)
Anyone could recommend something or had similar experience with hd videos?
Thanks
720p and 1080p works fine here. What's your network speed?
are you talking about dlna? ive tried streaming 720p videos to a LG tv. Lags at the start for like 10 sec but then its just normal. works great imo =)

You're talking about playing video on SGN or on TV? My laptop connects to router at 280-300Mb/s and SGN gets max 65Mb/s.

Wow LAN mode on this app really kicks ass! I was able to play 720p and even 1080p over wifi without any problem! And it's so easy to setup too I wonder why Allshare doesn't work this way Thanks for the tip man!
Good morning all,
I have one annoying problem.
Consider following scenario:
I open through LAN Mode or ES File Explorer a .mkv file direct from my home machine. This is done over WiFi Dongle. In other words - i stream video from my local machine over to my Samsung Galaxy Note. What is happening is that after a few minutes the picture and the sound freezes. I have to close BS Player, close ES File Explorer and open the video again. This is happening with all kind of videos. Even 1080p are played butter smooth but it freezes every 4-5-6 minutes.
I've tested with a laptop - no such problem.
Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? I'm using BS Player Lite.

It looks to me that your wifi dongle can't maintain stable signal. Try searching for new drivers for it.

That is the problem with the cache I guess, either ES or BS are not able to handle the huge memory size of 720/1080P. Try MX Player.

[Q] little bit garbled and lower pitched sound

Hi all,
Yesterday I bought my chromecast and I've set it up without problems, but I noticed the sound played through the chromecast is just a little bit garbled and worst of all, it's pitched like a semi-half tone down. For movies and youtube this'll won't be a problem, but I play the guitar and when music is played, it's horribly out of tune.
I couldn't find anything on the internet as a solution. Does anyone encounter the same problem?
Setup:
Nexus 5 with cm11, android 4.4.4
Stock chromecast
1080p HDTV

Sounds like a dolby incompatibility....
Does the source have a dolby track and does this happen with a stereo content item?

Its with all content; whether its youtube, or casting my whole android screen, google music, I even tried it casting a youtube tab from chrome on my notebook. All same results.. Lower pitched sound and a little bit chopped.
But I sure do wanna try out everything. How can I find out wheter there is a dolby track?

If it is happening on everything then it is unlikely what I suspected it was...Especially if it happens on You Tube as well...
It could be a bad HDMI network connection between the CCast and the TV....
So try this....
1 - Try another input on the TV
2 - Try the CCast on a different TV and see if it still happens
If #1 solves it then it's that one TV Input, You can check the audio setting for that input but the CCast should communicate all of that and send the proper signal. (try re-plugging into the original input and see if the problem goes away)
If #2 has the same problem then it's a lemon CCast and you might need a replacement.

In a clear moment #1 has already come to mind, so tried another hdmi input, same results.. I don't have another hdmi tv before wednesday.. Will try it then and will post my results..
I just tried my chromecast on another tv and it worked normally, so it was my hdtv.
I checked the internet and there was an update. Updated and my chromecast works perfectly now!
Thanks for the input!

HDMI is really a network so any small issues and it falls apart.

Chromecast video on tv audio on phone

Hi my question is is there a player except localcast which allows me to stream videos on my tv via chromecast but let the audio play from my phone? i searched a lot of websites but could not find anything hope someone can help me here
I could see this being possible by running a UPnP server on the Chromecast and diverting/mirroring the audio through that. I think you'd probably need a rooted Chromecast to do it at this stage though (which I don't have).

I actually got that to happen accidentally while testing casting from Chrome Beta on the phone. I started a Vimeo video playing on the phone, switched to full screen, clicked the Chromecast icon, the video loaded on the Chromecast and started playing, the phone screen switched to control playing on the Chromecast - but the audio continued on the phone. That didn't happen when I stopped and started again, only the first time.

No Sound when Casting Screen/Desktop to TV, assistance required.......

Hello XDA Community, I just received my Google Chromecast yesterday and so far loving it but i have ran into a very serious and worrying problem...
Anytime i try to Cast Screen/Desktop i never receive Audio in the stream but...the Audio will work fine when streaming a Chrome Tab,
I have tried all workarounds listed via Google and other users via XDA DEVELOPERS but i am truly unable to get it to work with Audio via Cast Screen/Desktop,
I have already tried resetting the device to factory default and rebooting it etc, am truly unsure what else to try
I hope some smart cookie on here who managed to get this to work can lend a hand and share anyway i can get this to work,
Kinda regards

Does Audio work when casting the entire Screen/Desktop to TV?
I am beginning to think Audio doesn't work when casting the entire Screen/Desktop
Can anyone confirm if this is a working feature? I was planning to use VLC and WMP on PC as well as Steam local Music to my TV when in entire screen/desktop mode :/
BUMP???
Anyone able to comment on this for me?
I cannot get audio to work either when casting entire screen guess thats what experimental means. But iff i cast from my phone do get audio and can control it from phone vol keys.
When you do scrren mirroing and u dont get sound but video only that means you have a low connection and your mirroing is weak and close to lose Connection . I had the same problem a millón times until i but a wifi-amplifier and then make my phone/tablet/computer and chromecast connect to the same wifi the amolifier creates by using your house's wifi and i never got the no-sound bug again.

Wi-Fi Drops using Chromecast

Hi Guys,
Any of you have experienced wi-fi drops using Chromecast Audio?, the thing is it supposed to work properly until I wake up the phone to check messages, or do something and the wi-fi suddenly drops and few seconds later it reconnects, sometimes it also happens when using Bluetooth playing music.
- It happens with the embedded Music application casting to Chromecast audio
- Also casting to Chromecast audio using Neutron music player
- Playing music on Kodi using Yatse remote control (in this case the only relation between my phone and music player software is the remote control because Kodi is playing music itself)
I tried what Sony suggested in their support webpage (except doing a factory reset) and no luck...
Any ideas here?
Thanks and cheers,
Bruno.
