Factory reset, used the Home app to add a new device, found the device (connected to the Chromecast Audio via wifi), heard the sound, and when signing it in to the network, a "Could not communicate with your Chromecast Audio" comes up, so it never gets onto my home wifi or gets added to my Google Home.
