Dan1973 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 For some reason the app has stopped working with my Chromecast audio device. Anyone had this issue? Any fixes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Does it connect and appear to be playing but there's no sound, or does it not offer to connect or fails to connect. What device, phone, Android/PA versions, etc? Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 @Dan1973 What "Chromecast audio" do you mean, this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan1973 Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 Yes it connects and it shows its playing on the phone screen. It's a Sony Xperia 10 ii running Android 11. It's been working no problem but now it gives the connect noise but when you play a file it shows it on the screen playing but no sound. It's the Chromecast audio disc like in the picture (I tried swapping it out for a tibo bond 3 but should not have bothered. A load of rubbish. So reverted back to the Chromecast) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 @maxmp I tested Poweramp build-925 with the Chromecast audio and no issues reproduced. So I guess it’s something with the network setup or with the device itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan1973 Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 The network and device are fine as I get sound with Google podcasts and the Sony music player. I have looked at all the settings within the app regarding Chromecast. Nothing has changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Google Podcasts may stream directly from the internet rather than from the phone (the phone just requests the connection). But the Sony Music Player should be playing local files, which involves the same process that PA uses. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan1973 Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 Well the whole issue of using PA was because Sony music player stopped playing files to Chromecast. I then only this week took away the Chromecast and replaced it with the tibo bond 3. This had a LAN connection and could play local files from the USB on the back. It was a massive disappointment so that's going back. Now I have put the Chromecast back it's not playing back. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Might be worth trying completely unpairing and resetting the Chromecast, and reinstalling it to the network from scratch? Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan1973 Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 Yep. Already reset the Chromecast and put it back into the network as I thought that might be the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan1973 Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 Sorted. Did a full re install of the app. Must have been a broken library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Bru Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I've not been able to cast to either Google Home mini nor the TV Chromecast for months now. Get the connected sound and then the visualiser in PA app looks like it's playing for about 4 seconds but then endlessly returns to the start of the track. Track timer doesn't progress. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Increased buffer size. No joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 @G Bru PA Version? Android version? Do any other apps allow playing of local file content (not online content streaming) to these devices? Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Bru Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Build 926. Android 11 on Google Pixel 2xl. Pulsar music player casts just fine and plays local files to cast devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan1973 Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 It's ok. Worked it out. It was a broken link in a library on the phone. Did a re install of the app and all is ok. Thank you all for your feedback. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
