No more Google Cast on Beosound 1 1st gen

6 replies
Hello Beoworlders, Since a few days my BS1 is no more detected by the applications used to cast music. It seems that a firmaware update occured recently and I suspect a bug. Am I alone to face this problem? Kind regards, Yann.

Did you check with the B&O app or via IP Adress of the Beosound 1 if Chromecast is enabled after the firmware update? You'll find it in the B&O app under Settings -> Chromecast.
Hi, Thanks for your help. Yes, Chromecast is enabled. The version number shown in the app is 1.28.102057. The only (and unchecked) choice is to share the use-datas with Google. Regards, Yann.

Beosound 1 natural software: 6.5.57687.212515568 I enabled Chromecast for testing and did NOT see any software version. Unchecked "share user data". It didn't show up in the list of Chromecast devices either. After turning the Beosound 1 off and on again, Chromecast came to live and shows the same version number as yours. Google Cast Version: 1.28.102057 And now it works and is shown in the list of Chromecast devices. So please try the simple thing of switching it off and on again. Maybe 2 times as on the first try my Beosound 1 didn't get back on the Wifi Network. As I don't use Chromecast... how to disable it again? :-D There's no option in the B&O app or via IP-Adress of Beosound 1.
Hi, Thank you for the testings you undertook. The firmware versions of my BS1 and of Google Cast are the same as yours. I power-cycled the BS and it appeared again in the list of devices. Strange but successful. According to the B&O support, disabling Chromecast is done by a reset of the speaker (see the "How to activate the built-in Google Cast in my Beosound 1" FAQ). Kind regards, Yann.

Glad it worked. Factory reset to get rid of Google... that's the Google way. ;-) Thanks.
