My chromecast flickers (sound and video) randomly.
So far, I have tried
- putting into other HDMI ports.
- changing cables , power adapters.
- factory reset. This works for a while but problem come back after 1-2 hours.
I googled and found quite a lot of people having this issue in the forum. All without real proper resolution. Their support seem to blame it to compatibility between chromecast and TV. Anyone else have this issue here in Malaysia ?

Hello all

I've been the Chromecast for years and love it to bits. I've been plugging it direct to the TV so any sound is coming out from the TV.

I have a Sony Soundbar so I'm just wondering if you can connect the Chromecast to the Soundbar instead so that I can get better sound?

Thanks

Thank you for the reply. I brought the unit to a friend's house and the same issue persists. I am returning for warranty claim.

I can confirm that it works so this is all kinds of awesome. Only complain is that my zaman batu soundbar doesn't have a USB port so had to use the one from the TV. Still works but not so neat now.

Anyways, does anyone know if the Astro Njoi Now app works with the Chromecast?

I use Google Home to mirror what's on the phone to TV, no problem.

Mirroring will make the phone hot right, as it similar to Miracast functionality?

Sigh, when will unifi@playtv apps will have Chromecast functionality.

When cast to tv the volume is automatically set to maximum and everytime have to quickly reduce. Is there anyway to make Chromecast follow phone volume level?

Yeah which I assume is because they're scared of losing business from their other businesses (IPTV, Satelite, etc.).

However, I feel that they're actually just restricting themselves and not being open to a potential lucrative revenue stream. Personally, I'd subscribe to Astro if the Njoi app could cast out. As it is, I subscribe to Beinsports and Rugbypass mainly because these services offer the cast option.

I have both the Chromecast and Fire Stick. IMO, the Fire Stick is clearly superior and can also do casting with same ease like the Chromecast.

fire stick is superior bcos it has Android feature where you can install apps.
the new Chromecast with google TV should have similar advantage.
