No audio when casting desktop from Chrome

Nergal — Wed, 15 Sep 2021 23:18:30 GMT

Hi,

As explained in the title, I have no audio when casting the desktop from Chrome (video works though).

It works perfectly if I cast a tab (audio and video). It also works when casting the desktop from my laptop but not from my computer.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to solve this.

Is your computer muted ?

It is not. As I said audio works when I cast a tab and I have audio as normal if I just use the computer.

Try enabling chrome://flags/#try-supported-channel-layouts

I don't seem to have that flag in my Chrome (version is 93.0.4577.82).

In the meantime I tried different things I found and the issue is still here.

Also have this question. Have noticed it for a while, but haven't gotten around to asking about it on the forums until now. Previous versions of Chrome had a checkbox, or radio button, I forget, to enable audio when choosing desktop as the cast source. This feature has been absent for a long time.

Hey there Nergal,

Let me just ask you a couple more questions:

When did this issue start happening?
What OS is your laptop and computer running?
Is the Google Chrome version the same on both devices?

For now, go ahead and open the chrome://flags, like Ashepherdson suggested, and look for Allow all sites to initiate mirroring and set it to Disable. After that, go ahead and restart Google Chrome. If you're still having that issue, restart the computer afterwards as well.

I look forward to your response, and if you had any other questions or concerns, please let me know.

Best regards,

Jeran

Hey there!

We haven't heard back from Nergal, and it's been a few days, so I'm locking the thread. As always, feel free to make a new thread if you have any more questions or concerns.

Thank you for your help, Asheperdson!
