Chromecast Playing Wrong Audio on youtube

Dawnofthedew — Sun, 12 Jan 2025 06:02:23 GMT

We've noticed recently that our Chromecast has started auto choosing "German" when playing some YouTube Videos. All of my devices (Chromecast included) are set to English. I cannot say I've noticed a pattern for videos it does this but it's very frustrating as some videos we just cannot watch on this Chromecast.

Note: I've tried casting from multiple devices (Android Phone, iPhone, PC) and it still plays with the German dub.

Technical information

System firmware version: 291998

Cast firmware: 1.56.291998

Language: en-GB

Update: I did a factory reset on the chromecast via the "Home" app and that appears to have resolved it for now.

First, it's a Google Chromecast I believe it's their generation.

In terms of troubleshooting, I went to the Google home app look for languages, I also went into YouTube and look for languages, everything's set to English. What I did to fix a problem was actually factory reset the device. I do wish you guys figure out what caused this issue to happen in the first place. I've been using Chromecast for 5 or 6 years that this is the first time I've seen this happened.
