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.
   
5. Check if there are any updates available for Windows 11 Media Player. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and click on Check for updates.
   
6. Try reinstalling Windows 11 Media Player. You can do this by going to Settings > Apps > Apps & features, finding Windows Media Player in the list, and clicking on Uninstall. Then, go to Microsoft's website to download and install the latest version of Windows Media Player.
   
7. If none of the above steps work, you can try contacting the manufacturer.
   

Let me know if you need any additional help. Also, make sure to take backup of your media files.

 

Windows Media Player 12 Not Casting

Hello. I have the same problem as the original poster. I am able to cast individual songs to Marantz receiver, but I cannot cast playlists.

Here are some additional details. I have Windows 10 and WMP12.

To cast a song in WMP12 I do the following:

1. right click song

2. select "Cast to Device"

3. select Marantz receiver (I have other device which also appear on list of options to cast to)

When I right click a playlist, and select "Cast to Device", the only option that comes up is "Cast to Device". In other words, "cast to device" appears a second time, none of my devices appear as in step 3 above when only trying to cast an individual song.

I also, after applying the suggest resolutions noted in the posts above, I tried creating a new test playlist, but I couldn't cast that playlist either.

Are there any additional steps I can take to resolve this?

Thank you.
