It is not a question of volume. It just does not play on the TV. Here's the error I get.

I think as of this July post, you can't send audio when mirroring your Desktop from a Mac: https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/chromecast/jGSayxcIng...

"Grace Y. said: Hello,

Thanks for your patience. Currently, audio is not supported when casting your desktop from a Mac computer/laptop. However, casting a tab does support audio. We're always looking for ways to improve, so your feature request has been duly noted.

Best, Grace"

Thanks! I noticed some people on the forum were able to cast audio by changing "chrome://flags/" but I could not.

Weird. I'd take a look at your Mac audio settings (System Prefs -> Sound -> Output) and any weird applications you've installed with access to sound output.

Also try quitting all apps except chrome and see if the problem persists.

I have no apps that have access to the sound output. The problem persists even if I run ONLY Chrome.

I am not the only one - you can see such an issue on the Chromecast support forums for many users. I have tried all recommended solutions like media router enable/disable etc. including using the Canary version. No luck! I have also raised this with the Chromecast support team like 2 weeks ago. I haven't heard from them since then.
