Hi folks, I have my chromecast connected directly to my Denon avr 3310 and powered from the USB port on my TV. Chromecast is working as expected. I get dolby digital plus with no problems and great hd pictures from Netflix. Trouble happens when I switch back to my satellite box. That's connected to my TV via hdmi and receiver via optical. Since adding chromecast I get audio dropouts when watching satellite. How do I know it's chromecast? When I remove the USB cable powering the chromecast from the TV all audio issues dissappear. Anyone have similar issues? Cheers mick
I would do what was suggested and move the usb to maybe a wall adapter for power for troubleshooting. Also make sure that somehow your optical input is not assigned to the same source as your chromecast hdmi input and double check all your input assignments on the Denon.

Tried everything but in the end changed my satellite receiver to send audio via hdmi to the reciever and everything is playing nice now

Same here with a Denon 790 and analog sources. The Chromecast is plugged on back of the receiver inside a bookshelf nook, so disconnecting it is impractical.
The workaround is to drill down the menu through Input Assign > [HDMI] for the port used by Chromecast > set to "None". When using the Chromecast again, reverse the procedure and reassociate the port. Don't forget which port number holds the Chromecast.
It's inconvenient and my wife explicitly Does Not Like It, but the dropouts stop when you disassociate the port. You eventually memorize the remote key sequence without needing the onscreen menu.
Hope this helps, even after 3+ years.
1)Samsung has a dock station hdmi and usb to patch mice and keyboard for(ex. N7100).
2)Otherwise OTG cable adapter can fit micro usb to HDMI.
I already try the 2nd and im looking for share my cellfhone screen to TV (its not smart tv or support direct wifi). How i can make it work I have Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (MIUI 8 Global 7.2.16 based android 6.0 MRA58K).

Miracast for example.
Hi I'm using chromecast 2 and using it to cast and mirror videos and stuff to my tv. The tv had only one hdmi out. So i purchased a belkin hdmi cable of two metres and an hdmi splitter online. Now i can switch between set top box and chromecast easily without having to switch the cables connecting to the hdmi port each time.
I don't know whether any of you know, but UGreen have just bought out an Ethernet adaptor for the original and new Chromecasts, and what a difference it makes! Despite not being too far from my WiFi router, I was really having stuttering problems with my original Chromecast in my garden office; it really shouldn't have 'cos the signal was good, but I think I was getting interference from the laser cutter and 3D printer running at the same time. Electrical noise really doesn't help with streaming via WiFi.
Anyway, I've been looking for a way to improve it for a while, until I came across this new cable. You plug in the microUSB to the Chromecast as usual, and the other end to the power, and the third 'end' (!) has an ethernet port! Worked first time! I was expecting to have to reset the device so that it would use ethernet in preference, but nope, it defaulted to the Ethernet connection. Now streaming is flawless!
Thoroughly recommend this if you've got the same problem.

Why not use the original Google USB Ethernet adapter for the Chromecast (for $15, cable length: 2 meters, power supply inlcuded!)?
Which UGreen adapter do you use? Please post a link.
Edit: UGREEN Ethernet Adapter for Chromecast with Micro USB to RJ 45 Ethernet Adater for Chromecast with Power Supply (for $14.99, cable length: 1 meter, power supply NOT inlcuded!)

Power supply not included, but my guess is that you can power it up via the TV's usb port? Which actually is a selling point, if that works. I power my Chromecast with a usb connected to the TV, and feel that it's a bit "meh" having to plug it in to an actual power socket, when I have a perfectly good (less clunky) alternative.
Chromcast Ultra needs more power than the USB port on the TV can supply!

Does it work? The Chromcast Ultra needs more power than the USB port of the Samsung LE32C679 TV can supply! https://www.amazon.de/review/R2XUTU...etail-glance&nodeID=340843031&store=computers

If the Chromecast is not powered by the TV, it will not switch off with the TV!
Hi everyone!
Does anyone knows a method (either hardware or software) to force the Chromecast to output at 720p?
Background:
I have a DVI monitor and I used a simple HDMI to DVI adapter to plug my laptop in it.
My laptop died and I decided to use a Chromecast and my phone as a replacement.
After the Chromecast arrived and I plugged it in, I turned on screen mirror and hooked my kb/m to the phone and everything, only to realize that the sound was also being streamed to the Chromecast.
Needless to say that my monitor doesn't have audio output.
So I got one of those HDMI audio diverter to draw the audio and feed it to my audio system, so far so good.
I used my laptop to game was well, so after starting some withdraw from games, I decided to grab my PS2 console and got on of those PS2 to HDMI dongles and play some old-school games, then I started facing an issue: swapping cables.
To fix that I got one of those 3 port HDMI hubs and plugged both devices to it.
However the monitor is 720p, the HDMI audio diverter knows that and replicates this information to it's input port which makes the Chromecast display in 720p.
But the hub does not, it report it's 1080p making the Chromecast send 1080p video signal and the display only shows a black screen because of it not knowing how to deal with that.
So if there's a way to force the Chromecast to display in 720p it would be my salvation.
So if anyone out there knows any possible solution, please, I would be really grateful.
Thanks everyone!
Hi All
I'm moving over from a P20 Pro and can't seem to get my USB Type-C HDMI/VGA adaptor to work. I'd like to mirror the screen to a PC monitor which has both HDMI and VGA inputs.
Any comments gratefully received....
Cheers
Steve
You can't use any USB-C to HDMI adaptor. Mi9 has no support for it.
Hi @davfiala
Thanks for your reply. I've bought a wireless->HDMI adaptor from fleabay so will test that when it comes.
Cheers
Steve
Chromecast or similar would work
Thanks @rajanm1
According to the ad, it supports EZCast, DLNA, Miracast, EZAir (Airplay)
I'll post up when it arrives.
Cheers
Steve
Hi All
The wireless adaptor arrived today and it works just fine using MiraCast. I bought it from fleabay for just under £7.00 and it looks like the attached pic.
The instructions were in Chinglish and the text was 3 point in size, so I found this excellent guide:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edUZOL89ihY
If you want one, just search on fleabay for AnyCast.
To cast your screen, go to Settings->More->Wireless Display.
What I really wanted was a landscape camera for my LCD monitor, but the stock app doesn't rotate the camera so it's always portrait which is the same as the P20 Pro :crying:. Open Camera works well in this case.
So I just need 48MP RAW for 3rd party apps and bob's yer uncle
Cheers
Steve
A quick update on this. My LCD monitors are pretty old and only have DVI and VGA inputs. They work fine with my laptop and a HDMI->DVI adaptor but the Anycast dongle doesn't work at all. After a bit of googling I found out that there are DVD-I and DVD-D standards. DVI-D is a digital standard and DVI-I is digital and anaolog. I bought a DVI-I adaptor but still no joy.
The fix was to buy a HDMI->VGA adaptor and a female->female HDMI gender changer. This works great and is powered from the HDMI port.
So now I can cast the Mi9 to any LCD monitor
So the setup is AnyCast dongle -> gender changer -> HDMI/VGA.
For info, the HDMI->VGA I bought was like the attached
wish xiaomi would stop cheaping where they shouldn't . hdmi over usb-c would not have costed them much to implement. they want to be in 2019, but still use 90s tactics

can u pls post a picture of whole setup? I want to do the same with redmi note 7 pro, thanks
Hi sorry I don't have the setup any more, but it's really simple.
The Anycast USB plugs into your phone via a USB-A->USB->C adaptor.
The AnyCast HDMI cable plugs into the HDMI gender changer
The HDMI gender changer plugs into the HDMI->VGA adaptor
The VGA plugs into your monitor
Hope that helps
Steve
HDMI is good for me with global but not with the last update : 11.0.3. I go back for fast game (60hz).
