Chromecast Audio speaker group stops playing same time everyday

[kgbengt]

Speaker group consisting of 8 chromecast audio streams Swedish Radio. Every day, around 2 pm, they stop streaming and i have to start it again, by saying Ok, google listen to Swedish Radio P3. It then streams for a about a minute up to an half hour and i have to repeat the procedure. This goes on for about 2 hours, and after 4-4.30 pm it works flawlessly again, without interruption. This behavior has been going on for years and I have tried every possible setup on my network which consists of the Unifi Dream Machine Pro as well as a number of Unifi access points. All Chromecast have good wifi coverage and godd bandwith. No other wired or wireless equipment are affected by these interruptions.

Any help or ideas?
