Casting audio from Windows 10 to Chromecast

AlanKivnik — Mon, 06 Mar 2023 22:47:30 GMT

I have 3 Chromecast devices and used to be able to cast audio to the one attached to my stereo receiver from Win 10. I would select the audio file in a Windows folder, right click to CAST TO and select the desired Chomecast unit but that no longer works. In the CAST TO dropdown menu, I can not see any of the 3 Chromecasts but I can still CAST to the Stereo Receiver's internal cast feature. My phone sees all 3 Chromecast units and they otherwise seem to work.

Hi Alan!

There are a few things you can try to troubleshoot this issue:

Make sure your Chromecast devices and your Windows 10 computer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Chromecast devices and your computer need to be on the same network to communicate with each other.
Restart your Chromecast devices and your Windows 10 computer. Sometimes, restarting devices can help fix connectivity issues.
Check if the Google Cast extension is installed and enabled in your Google Chrome browser. If not, install the extension from the Chrome Web Store and make sure it is enabled.
Try using a different media player to cast your audio files. Some media players may not be compatible with Chromecast devices. You can try using VLC Media Player or Windows Media Player to see if that solves the issue.
If none of the above solutions work, try resetting your Chromecast devices to their factory settings. This will erase all the settings on the Chromecast devices, and you will need to set them up again. To reset your Chromecast device, press and hold the reset button on the back of the device for 25 seconds.

Thank You!
