Unresolved Speaker Groups issues and topic grossly neglected by Google Nest Community

[mrxree]

Clarifications to the constrained label selections, which don't adequately reflect the nature of the issue I'm posting about:

product: Chromecast Audio built-in (Google and OEM devices)

platform: any

issue category: speaker groups

The issues described in Answered: Having trouble with Speaker groups? Read this firs... - Google Nest Community are not resolved.  The Community Manager has been neglecting the topic for ages - perhaps because of the two 7/24 posts that were marked as "answers".

This is beyond ridiculous. We should be able to cast and have speaker groups that work.

**bleep**s ridiculous as **bleep**

Google doesn't care. They're too big to care. They're worried about antitrust and not their customers.

Hey google, give me my money back if you wont fix the speakers you broke. This is ridiculous.

• Two nest audio speakers with latest firmware are not working anymore as stereo pair, only one plays music; fun fact is that i can change volume of this one no matter which I touch
• Newly bought JBL Authentics 500 with latest firmware is not working inside speaker group

JBL I can return, but in terms of Nest I'm going to check the possibility of group lawsuit from EU consumers.

FYI.  I shared this in a different thread.  My 10+ speakers were a studdering stammering mess.  Coming and going from my cast list.  Failing to play.

Switching from Google Wifi mesh system - to Deco mesh.... and I have be working for almost 2 months now.

The Google Wifi mesh is not the only router with issues. I've got them on my eero6+ mesh. And it seems like the router should not introduce the issues we've been experiencing. I guess Deco users got lucky if our small sample is representative. 

Just today I had to reset my stereo pair. It works longer than it used to and I only initiate play through Spotify on my iPhone.
