Windows 10: Does the Windows 11 Media Player "Cast to device" feature play the full quality of the song?

I'd like to ask if Media Player plays the full quality of the song when I'm casting to a device

:)

 

Windows 10 Media Player 'cast to device' will only play the first song on the play list

When I 'cast to device' a multi song play list it will only play the first song on the list. The controls in the 'cast to device' window are shaded out except the repeat and stop buttons.

 

Windows Media Player 11 in June

Although we have to wait for the new Microsoft Vista OS, new version of Windows Media Player 11 will be available before the end of June. The XP version won't have all the features of its Vista successor, but the company won't say which features will be excluded. I guess we have to wait for a public test version and see what's included. With the new media player, consumers will be able to "reverse sync," meaning they can send content from a digital device to a PC. Another change is the ability to alter protected music and video files to change their quality level. With the new software, protected Windows Media files can be converted to smaller file sizes for playback on mobile devices. The biggest no go is that Windows Media Player 11 won't allow conversion of purchased Windows Media Songs into Apple iPods. So songs bought from a Windows Media store still won't play on the iPod.

Cast to Device not working for audio - Media Player

It sounds like there may be compatibility issues between Windows 11 Media Player and your Audiogenie receiver, which is causing the issues you are experiencing.

Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Make sure your Audiogenie receiver is up to date with the latest firmware version. You can usually find firmware updates on the manufacturer's website.
   
2. Try using a different media player to cast your audio to the Audiogenie receiver. For example, you can try using VLC Media Player or Groove Music.
   
3. Disable any firewall or antivirus software temporarily to see if they are interfering with the Cast to Device feature.
   
4. Try resetting your network settings. Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Network reset and click on Reset now. This will reset all network adapters and settings back to their default values.
