Local Media Streaming, trying to find the best experience...

Yes. I forgot, do I need to select Plex in my Media Services list?

You don't need to configure Plex in the WiiM app in order to use Symfonium, but the fact the Ultra is discovered means mDNS is working.
Are other apps able to detect Chromecast - assuming it's enabled? To test UPnP discovery you could try BubbleUPnP.

As much as I hate to suggest it, have you tried rebooting the Ultra?

I have rebooted, I do so from a wall switch that feeds my power conditioner strip that powers on the ultra, cd transport and my app all at the same time. Probably not the best way but it works for now. Still, I'm thinking what I go to choose media playback on my system tray of my Galaxy S22 phone with the Symfonium app I should see the WiiM Ultra in this list, I think I did several weeks ago when I first tried Symfonium.

What devices are listed when you click the cast icon from within the app?

EDIT: It appears that only Chromecast targets are displayed from the notification shade, and they're only available for selection when you're playing to the local device.

I'm away from my system now, but I opened a support topic with Symfonium and their response was "You need to use the cast button inside Symfonium to cast to UPnP." I will see where that's at and try this evening and post back.

Thank you.

"You need to use the cast button inside Symfonium to cast to UPnP."

Maybe the notification shade targets are handled by Android, which doesn't natively support UPnP.
