3 years ago I'm having similar problems on Fedora 33 after upgrading. Using the latest mkchromecast code from here.
I had multiple mkchromecast sinks appear in testing, but I can't replicate that anymore. May have been due to testing different encoders instead of ffmpeg.
I restarted to clear the virtual output devices, and they were gone. Still no audio output. I tried running it the next day and it mysteriously worked. Haven't figured out why it sometimes works but doesn't. I need to run more tests but it could be that it works when there is no active "Firefox: AudioStream" in Pavucontrol. When it's working it's throwing ffmpeg warnings:
[wav @ 0x559c72557700] Non-monotonous DTS in output stream 0:0; previous: 1115914, current: 1115905; changing to 1115914. This may result in incorrect timestamps in the output file.
When it's not working it doesn't do this at all. I do see VU activity in the input and output devices in Pavucontrol. I run with the following method which has always served me well due to low latency:
./bin/mkchromecast -s --encoder-backend ffmpeg -c wav
When it worked I had to manually select the mkchromecast sink as an output. When it doesn't work it seems to be automatic, though this has never been a problem in the past.
It exits cleanly when it works, but in this case it's failing to exit cleanly. I need to dig a bit and see if this indicates anything.

I think that this seems to be some weird issue with Pulse Audio, but that's no surprise to me since it alwyas comes with new surprises w/ each update.

Hi, i installed in Manjaro and there's no audio output after selecting mkchromecast sink. It is weird it shows two sinks both called mkchromecast. I searched and there's no similar issue reported before.
