.Mercy Sakes Alive !!
After reading all 8 pages of this, I`m damn glad, I had my house`s 6 remote rooms hard wired for audio and 4 different type of channels of video, via HQ Ethernet cable/baluns structured wiring almost 10 years ago !!!
No casting, dropouts, latch ups, bandwidth issues with my dual band WiFi, etc. or any other problems while enjoying my all day playing WAV. ripped music, that runs 24/7, and is always available by turning on the stereo in the room I happen to be in..
And no futzing required with any equipment after power burps, just solid clear 44.1/16 WAV. ~ 9k, and growing, tracks of my music..
And being somewhat OCD, I have the same music files playing on another source, a laptop connected to a 4X1 S/PDIF coax switcher, feeding my HQ DAC. so like a broadcast station, no dead air, should something happen to my primary source !!
And random/shuffle track playing suits me fine, as I rarely feel the need to chase/select specific music tracks..
Enjoy your wireless method, and I`ll continue to enjoy my totally hassle free wired one..
Of course, rats might get into my attic and chew up all my feeder cables !?!? ,
Enjoy your/the music as you see fit, folks.
Kind regards, Billy Ferris
I`m guessing you have some validity there Chief, Sir. but futzing with CCA. etc. is above my pay scale, and desire !!.
All that being said when my little pea brain reads between the lines I think a lot of people make it way harder than it really is
But, as I have said, to each his/her own method..
Here's a screen capture for what I now see when casting from Chrome
Yes.Were you actively casting anything at that point?
If you have a CCA can you check how it behaves today/Sunday?
Well, I can still cast to my CCA via Chrome, but can't control the volume, can you?Mines been going almost 9 hrs non stop today. Streaming Tidal and Spotify, zero problems.

What do you see if you cast from a Chrome browser and not an "app"?
Ah - got it.It’s been working all day. I only use my iPhone or Kindle.
Thanks.I don't cast too often from my computer, but that Chrome screenshot looks like you are not casting yet, and need to click on that chromecast. That's how mine looks before I choose which CCA to cast to. Then I click it, and it starts casting, and then I the volume slider comes up.
This is on Chrome with music playing:
