Hi everybody,

I found a workaround for Chromecast related Wifi dropouts of the Beoplay A6. My current firmware, Chromecast enabled, is: 1.15.17881.16477003

Was a firmware roll back from 1.15.17640.17856519 by B&O support to enable Chromecast again for my A6.

The A6 (and maybe other devices?) is playing without any dropouts when added to a Google Cast audio group and not playing alone. No need for the other device to really play!, even a single Chromecast Audio dongle plugged in and added to the A6 in a Google Cast group created via Google Home will work.
