How Can I Troubleshoot My Google Chromecast’s Audio Issues?
Below are different ways to troubleshoot your Chromecast sound and audio issues before opting for a replacement.
1. Check Your TV Or Other Device’s Settings:
You must ensure the speakers on the device you’re casting to are set to enabled, and the volume hasn’t been turned down. Also, some modern television sets deactivate their internal speakers to use external speakers or sound systems, therefore you should check to confirm that the correct settings are turned on. You can even reset your TV to its default or factory settings to restore the internal speakers.
2. Ensure Your Chromecast Is Working Perfectly:
To be sure it is not a hardware issue, you should check to confirm if your Chromecast is plugged in properly – both to your TV and to the power socket on your wall.
You can test this further by plugging your Chromecast into another wall socket or HDMI jack on your TV. Switching out the HDMI cord for the micro-USB cord and plugging that in can also work.
3. Reboot Your Chromecast Device Using The Google Home App:
Rebooting your Chromecast can solve any problem, including an audio-related one, and it won’t take much of your time. See how to make it happen:
