Doesn't work on Windows 10

[DVLP]

I tried on 2 laptops with Windows 10. One is Pro and the other Home. Both are 64bits. After clicking on audio-cast.exe an icon appears in the tray but nothing happens after clicking on it either left or right.

I am facing the same problem on Windows 10 64 bit. Any help ?

I've tried on both 32 and 64 bit Windows 10 systems. In both cases: 1) Most often, when I (right) click on the tray icon, nothing happens 2) When the pop up window to connect to Chromecast manages to appear, it does so in the top left corner instead of bottom right corner. Also, most of times, in the pop up connection window, an empty space is shown in place of the Chromecast name 3) In those cases where the Chromecast name appears in the connection window, clicking on that name results in Chromecast attempting to connect, but it constantly fails too.

Edit: managed to get some success installing Bonjour as instructed in #31

Same problem here. Have tried on both a lenovo x220 with win10 and a lenovo t450s with win10, and pretty much tried most combinations of all the proposed solutions, but still cannot get it to work.

Strange that - I have it working just fine on an X220 running W10

Yeah thats what does not make sense in my world. I really wonder what i have done (or not done), since i cannot make it work.

I had it working on my x220 before i upgraded to win10 though...and it was working more or less perfectly (with the same lag most people experience, but working nonetheless).

I take it back - it was working fine, now it only works sometimes. And sometimes shows all devices, sometimes misses one. On another PC, set-up in exactly the same way it doesn't work at all. Regrettably, I've now given up.

god damnit matbee what did you do

[sajattack]

Master seems to work better. Update the releases @acidhax?

[luigiplr]

@acidhax is 200% ded.

All your issues belong to me.

[Pealy]

Are you picking up the baton? Would love to see this working reliably, loads of possibilities.

Please verify this is still an issue by testing https://github.com/acidhax/chromecast-audio-stream/releases/download/0.3/audio-cast-win32-ia32.zip

@acidhax Thanks for the fix! Only tested at work with nothing to cast on but at least the menu appears. Have to try at home

[codlike]

@acidhax Overjoyed, fantastic, marvellous. Its never worked for me, and tried most of the tweaks on here, and been following since you released. Its working on Win 10 64 and 32. Almost lifechanging. Do you have a somewhere I could send you a donation for your hardwork?

doesn't work on win 10 64 bit.

get the bong but nothing transferred.

audio_sniffer issue??

if i try and run the bat file command it says the module cannot load. dependency issue?

[Pealy]

Here we go again.. I'd love to think this new release was going to work, fingers crossed!

[bluesodium]

fixed it..

in the driver directory and open register_run_as_admin.bat

change regsvr32 %~dp0/audio_sniffer.dll

to

regsvr32 %~dp0audio_sniffer.dll

run as administrator and ta da. Audio sniffer dll succeeded.

works a treat now.

[drjp69]

It still works for me, having previously manually edited the audio_sniffer.dll entry in the registry.

Please have a look at my issue #56 It seems to have worked for some, if you copy the Programms folder to your Desktop and then run if from there.
