When I Chromecast the SiriusXM app from my IPhone to my Ultra, there is a distinct high pitch crackle sound intermittently throughout. What I hear is simply called sample rate error. I have the absolute latest firmware installed.

Signal path:

iPhone 15 Pro Max —> SiriusXM app —> Chromecasting to Ultra —> optical out of Ultra —> Optical In —> iFi Zen DAC Blu 3 —> Transmitting AptX Lossless —> Cambridge Audio p100 headphones

Same issue when feeding the iFi via USB from Ultra.

Same issue with my wife’s Samsung Ultra 24 casting to Ultra

Chromecast seems super buggy on the Ultra, and the transitions between songs via SiriusXM/Chromecast are abrupt.

I’m fairly new to the WiiM platform (under a month’s time). Is there a Chromecast issue going on?

Depending on what chromecast version you have with the Ultra, they may need to put you on what they call a whitelist. It installs the previous version of chromecast. That's what I am on the whitelist
