What happened in Music on this day !?
@Rudi I just setup my wife’s account, and she also was initially unable to stream HIFI with Chromecast. I used the same Chromecast devices that I had just gotten to work with my account. This appears to be either an app or account setting issue, not an issue with the target Chromecast device. I noticed that the app’s default settings were also to show “Standard” on all the audio quality settings, except for Google Cast, which defaulted to “High Fidelity”. Casting music and toggling this setting to something other than “High Fidelity”, then back, also resolved this issue for her. I’m wondering whether the app’s default setting that displays “High Fidelity” for Google Casting isn’t an accurate reflection of the app’s actual setting, and toggling like squire23 mentioned fixes this.
@squire23 Thank you for the suggestion; I was able to find a work around to get this to start working! @Rudi Here’s the specific steps I took. Hopefully this will help the team both duplicate and resolve this issue. It seems like getting HIFI working is an initial use/setup issue, and once it’s working it appears to stay working. The developers may have to setup a “new” account and that are used with new/factory reset Chromecast devices to duplicate this issue, FYI.Per squire23’s suggestion, I did the following:Installed and setup Deezer on my Android phone, including settings all music settings to High Fidelity in the app. Cast from within the Deezer app to my NVidia Shield Pro. I was able to play music through the cast, but the audio was not High Fidelity (both the badge was missing on the TV and the lesser audio source was noticeable. While music was playing, went to the Deezer app settings on my phone and changed the Google Cast audio quality from High Fidelity to High Quality.
@Rudi Thanks for the quick follow up! Please let me know if there’s any other information I can provide to help.
@Rudy I tried another phone with the same results. I’ve included a photo of the Chromecast screen for your review. If you have any other suggestions or need additional data, please let me know.Similar to Squire23, I have my Chromecast devices connected to a Onkyo receiver. While the Onkyo does include a native Deezer app, the navigation is horrible (nearly unusable). Casting is definitely preferred. Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi Rudy,Here's the settings I've been using (Android version of app) I checked the app, and I'm running version 6.2.27.47 on my phone.
Thanks for reaching out about this @dilettante it's neither to be honest. Our Chromecast integration makes the logo move from the app to the TV screen Hi Rudi,I’m having a similar issue where casting from my phone displays the HiFi badge, but casting to a Chromecast device with a display no longer shows HiFi on either my phone or the Chromecast display. I’ve attempted to get HiFi to work through casting by casting to the following Chromecast targets:NVidia Shield Pro Google Chromecast (3rd Generation) Google Chromecast with Google TVAll devices are updated to the latest software, both on the Chromecast device and on the phone. In each case, the song plays back on the phone with the HiFi badge, but as soon as I cast the audio the HiFi badge no longer displays on the phone or Chromecast display, and the change in audio quality is noticeable.Any suggestions are much appreciated!
