PC Nest Speaker 2.1.1

Same-version maintenance release on top of 2.1.0.

Fixed

  • HTTP PCM drop recovery. Backpressure recovery now tolerates short Cast/Wi-Fi stalls before closing the receiver stream, waits longer for PCM receiver relaunch, and falls back to a full stream reconnect if direct relaunch fails. This targets the Backpressure recovery failed: Execution of start app 4B876246 timed out after 10.0 s failure seen on July 9, 2026.
  • Play while PC is locked. Settings now includes Play while PC is locked, enabled by default. When enabled, locking Windows leaves the active stream running; when disabled, the app stops on lock and reconnects on unlock.
  • Startup and unlock reconnect. Successful speaker, group, and stereo starts are remembered for automatic reconnect on app startup/autoboot; streams stopped by PC lock can reconnect on unlock.
  • App version display. The in-app footer no longer shows stale v2.0.0; it now uses the packaged app version, with v2.1.1 as the fallback.
  • Speakers tab layout corruption. The Low Latency button added in 2.1.0 was crammed into the Wall of Sound row's left control group, widening it and pushing the audio-output pills off the right edge. The button is removed from the Speakers tab; latency is controlled by Settings > Audio > Speed. The Wall of Sound row is no longer clipped.

Unchanged from 2.1.0

  • Fast plain-audio custom receiver path for the lowest-latency Nest route.
  • Google Home stereo pair = true stereo on two Minis via firmware-locked L/R.
  • EQ presets and Speed profiles in Settings > Audio.
  • L/R volume pairing, instant cached speaker list, reconnect-after-unlock, stale-FFmpeg init-segment fix.

  • Build commit: 950c0da.
  • Local build verification 2026-07-09: packaged app.asar contains the dynamic get-app-version path, v2.1.1 footer fallback, and no stale v2.0.0 - A product footer string.
