Hi, I am using a MacBook Air and have been using Chromecast to cast websites to a screen. I have always chosen to cast the whole desktop and this has worked fine until a couple of days ago. When I Google on the issue it seems like casting the desktop does not work on Mac's, but it has worked for me previously. Has there been a change from Apple to cause this?
Hi there kms_it,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand you’re not getting sound when using Chromecast with your Mac. We’ll be happy to help.
First, check your sound settings: Change the sound output settings on Mac. If that doesn’t help, restart your Mac. If the issue continues and sound works outside of Chromecast, you’ll want to reach out to the developer for further assistance. We hope this helps.
Best regards.
Thanks for reaching back out kareng12,
We understand you're running into the issue only when trying to cast the full desktop of your Mac. It appears that this should be an option for you.
This resource from Chromecast's help site may assist you in resolving the issue: Casting a Chrome tab or entire desktop. If the issue continues, you'll want to reach out to the developer for further support. They'll be best equipped to provide further steps or information on their product.
Have a nice day.
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately none of the above helps. As I said the sound works fine if I cast the tab, but when casting the desktop it does not. Do you know anything about this?
Thank you so much for your help. I will check it out as you suggested. :-)
Video but no sound when using Chromecast
