Windows 10 64 bit, connects to chromecast but no sound is transfered

[PortableGoogle]

I'm not sure if i'm suppose to do anything else besides select the streaming device, but no sound comes out the chromecast using this program.

I'm having the same problem. Windows 10 64 bit. The program is running and I can select my chromecast audio device. I know its connecting because I get the beep sound from the device, but regular windows sounds aren't sent to the device. Any help?

Might be worth looking at this discussion : #11

I found that moving the program to a folder without a space ("C:\Chromecast") worked for me.

Finally got it to work. I did all the following:

• Install node
• Install C++ 2010 packages
• placed in folder with no space ("C:\CAC")
• run register_run_as_admin.bat
• tried replacing ffmpeg and using ffprobe using freshly downloaded 32 bit and 64 bit versions.

Not sure what worked, but it works now.

Thanks so much. I love my new toys.

Thanks bmmcdaniel, what worked for me as follows.

I'd already done:

• Install node
• Install C++ 2010 packages (both x86 and x64)
• placed in folder with no space: C:\CAS

The magic for me was:

• run as admin: register_run_as_admin.bat
• replaced ffmpeg and ffprobe using freshly downloaded 32 bit versions

Sorry to add, if i then close CAS and re-open it, it still freezes in the taskbar and i have to reboot computer for it to work again.

..same here. Tried every step, no audio from the device. I get the confirmation beeps to say it's been selected but no sound. I get the same ffmpeg error 1 problem as everyone else. Casting audio from chrome to the device is just fine.

Such a shame, this has so much potential

[Pealy]

For info - the "ffmpeg error 1" report is not necessarily a problem. I've had it working just fine even when this is shown when it's launched.

On the other hand, it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. A very, very temperamental bit of code this. I've spent so much time trying to make it work but have had to admit defeat and give up.

Ugh, I'll work on it. Time is fleeting.

Take a look here for a registry hack that fixed it for me:
