I’ve been using Chromecast for 2 days solid and it’s been fucking miserable even without interference. Once it connects it keeps on streaming which is great but every time I go to change albums or alter volume the playback software has dropped the cca connection leaving you unable to alter it. I then have to call up the google home app which may or may not still be connected, often it’s not. You then tell it to stop casting, go back to music app, do hard restart and repeat.

I found that my Chromecast Audio only works reliably on a wired connection using an Ethernet adapter. Some apps also work better than others. Tidal’s Chromecast integration is particularly bad.

On switching frequency - just plugged the Chromecast back in to see if I could get on with it now we have voice control set up (Sonos & Google Assistant is pretty wack). Took five minutes of swapping around cables in the cheap four port USB outlet before I could get rid of the old school dial up modem sounds coming out of the speakers. None of the configurations could get rid of the very high pitched noises coming out of the cabinet of components. I can hear those teenager / pigeon deterrents though so maybe I'm just sensitive to it.
