Cast to Device (TV) fails: Unexpected Device Error

Doing a little searching reveals that the only way to cast music directly from my PC to a TV would require me to use the Chrome browser and select Cast to ChromeCast enabled device. I don't have one of those so that way is out. However, Casting to my TV using Miracast does work so is my only option. On PC Right-click MP3 file Select Cast to Device Select the SmartTV in the list Media Player launches and starts playing MP3 On TV PC desktop shows on screen Audio from MP3 is heard on TV speakers Note, if sound from MP3 plays is heard on PC instead of TV then switch the audio output from Speakers to Digital Output.

 

Unable to Cast to Device to my Smart TV

Thanks Bree.

The other similar thread to this says 'Cast to' used to work to a Samsung TV but now it doesn't. This would imply something is 'wrong' with our Win 10?

Can anyone suggest some more troubleshooting steps to try to determine what the issue is?

 

Cast-to-Device Function on Windows 10 PC no longer working

I am trying to cast video from my primary PC to my TV (Samsung Smart TV). When I select cast-to-device, no devices are listed and it searches for devices but does not find any. Under devices, the PC shows the Samsung TV device but it is grayed out.
On another PC, it does show the TV under devices and it is active (not grayed out). At one point, casting worked on my primary PC but stopped at some point. All my PCs and the TV are connected to my home network. The TV and secondary PC have a direct connection
into the network (wall jack which goes to switch and then cable modem.) The primary PC is a bit different in that the connection goes from the PC to a wireless router n from the wireless router to the wall jack... Strange because it worked before.

Any ideas or suggestions would be very helpful.

Thanks!
