Audiocast M5 doesn't play any sound

[trueTrueman]

Hi, Audiocast successfully connects with swyh-rs and I can see in a mobile app that it indeed streams "swyh-rs", but there's no any sound coming. I can cast audio from my iPhone to Audiocast with no problem, but with swyh-rs it's silent for some reason. Is there anything I can do?
WAV Header is enabled.

Can it be a problem with the volume of the captured device? Like in this issue ?

I thought about it but the volume levels in tray, Control Panel and the music player are all at maximum/100%.
Is there some other volume setting?
P.s. maybe it's something to do with the fact that I'm on Windows 7x64?

Can you attach a debug log of a streaming attempt here?

If you enable RMS monitoring you will see that no audio is being captured, so swyh-rs has to send silence.
If audio is being captured you will also get a line "the wave_reader is now receiving samples" in the log, and the rms monitor will show the left and right channel audio levels.
For some reason the audio being played on the PC is not being directed to your speakers, and you are capturing the sound from the speakers.
You can check this in the Windows sound mixer settings (but I don't remember if Windows 7 already has the sound mixer).

Don't know if it helps but in the Volume Mixer it shows that the Speakers play sound, that's both the default Playback device in the Control Panel and the device selected in swyh-rs of course (I reselected it several times just in case). I also tried to change the default Playback device to a different sound card and select it in swyh-rs, but it was silent again.

I don't see a line "the wave_reader is now receiving samples" in the log.

Here are several screenshots showing sound levels, including the Stereo Mix (recording device), and the swyh-rs window in case it helps.

WasApi is not picking up the sound being played.
Do you by any chance also have headphones plugged in and enabled? This can prevent WasApi audio capture (having 2 active audio outputs).

No, I don't have headphones plugged in.

VB-Audio Hi-Fi Cable should solve your problem if properly configured.
Unfortunately I don't have Windows 7 or an Audiocast to reproduce and debug your problem.
