Chromecast casts only video and not audio from my PC to my TV

[BlackElon]

So when I am trying to cast my SCREEN from my Desktop and I select CAST --> Sources (Cast Screen) even though I select SHARE system audio, the audio is not casted. I have tried different HDMI ports on my TV, Factory Reset on my Chromecast. Different browsers. Nothing worked. Same result, casting of VIDEO without AUDIO.

The only thing that has changed is that I formatted my PC and instead of Windows 11, I went back to Windows 10 and since then audio cannot be casted.

Hi BlackElon,

Thanks for posting and for being a step ahead of us. A few questions: what Chromecast device are you using? You mentioned that you already tried different browsers; did you try Google Chrome? Did you have a chance to try using another computer? Is it also happening on cast-enabled apps (Netflix, YouTube, etc.) on smartphones? Kindly ensure that you use the Chrome browser when casting from computers. Some websites may have a built-in cast icon, but the correct way to cast from the Chrome browser is to click the three dots located at the top right corner of the browser. Choose Cast from the options and choose the type of casting (cast a tab, desktop, or file) you want. I look forward to your response.

Thanks,

Kimy
