No audio from Chromecast when casting desktop

[Mtlhd1011]

I am having issues casting my Desktop's audio and video to my chromecast successfully. I can click the cast to button in the chrome browser, then I select cast my desktop, and then I select my chromecast device. When I do this the video successfully casts, however I get no audio to my chromecast device no matter what I am doing on my PC. I have had a similar problem like this before with not being able to cast my desktop successfully, and I was told to change something in the Chrome flags and it solved my issue. I have since upgraded and changed my computer, so I am sure whatever setting that was may have been set back to default. Has any one else experienced this and has an answer on how to fix it? I have tried editing several chrome options and factory resetting my chromecast. I am running the latest version of chrome, latest chromecast version, latest google home app version and the latest windows 10 version. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have you considered changing the audio source on Windows 10 when casting your desktop to your Chromecast? Right click on the speaker icon, open sound settings, and choose output device.

Hello Gio,

I believe I did check that. I'll have to double check. I'm out of town right now so I don't have access to my PC and Chromecast right this moment. I will by the weekend.

I still need to try Gio's suggestion. Do you have any Jeran?

Hey there Mtlhd1011,

I've seen this issue around in the past. It seems that changing the audio device seems to work for most cases, since it could be an issue with the audio output. You may also find success using Google Canary, I've seen some people report that working for them as well.

Let me know if you had any other questions or concerns!

Best regards,

Jeran
