Connect to Chromecast doesn't mute desktop speaker

[Hauru14]

Hi !

I received my Chromecast today and when i tried cast from my laptop (with Chromecast in chrome, ChromeCast Desktop Audio Streamer, or other), the sound is controlled by my laptop mixer, so i have sound on my TV and my laptop, this is very annoying because when i mute my laptop, i mute Chromecast too..
I've tried a bit of things but no one solved my problem. Did someone fix that ?
(Running in win10, have the same Wi-Fi connection for both laptop and chromecast)

I'm not sure why your Chromecast (Audio?) would mute as well. However, the acidhax/chromecast-audio-stream is not updated and, at least in my case, was not able to pick up the names I've given to speaker sets (and groups).

Using instead SamDel/ChromeCast-Desktop-Audio-Streamer you get a maintained app that does recognize names that you've defined for speakers. For me, muting the PC speaker doesn't affect my Chromecasting - hopefully it'll be the same for you.

Cheers!
