Safety and Privacy While Casting

Remember that whatever is on your device’s screen will be mirrored, so all notifications, messages, and calls will be visible on the TV.

While screen mirroring is incredibly useful, it’s important to consider safety and privacy. Always use a secure and trusted Wi-Fi network to prevent unauthorized access to your device’s screen. Be mindful of sensitive information displayed on your device when mirroring, as it will be visible to anyone in view of the TV.

Once you’ve finished screen mirroring, ensure you disconnect properly to prevent any further transmission of your screen content. You can easily disconnect through the MirrorMeister app, which provides an easy and secure way to control your screen mirroring session.

No sound when screen mirroring Android to TV how to solve?

To resolve the issue of no sound when screen mirroring Android to TV, follow these steps:

  1. Check Volume Controls: Ensure that the volume is turned up on both your Android device and your TV. It’s possible that one of them is on mute or at a very low volume setting.
  2. Restart Devices: Sometimes, a simple restart of both your Android device and TV can fix temporary glitches causing sound issues.
  3. Check Bluetooth Connections: If your Android device is connected to a Bluetooth device, the sound might be playing there instead of your TV. Disconnect any Bluetooth devices to redirect the sound to your TV.
  4. Verify TV Source Input: Make sure your TV is set to the correct input source that is receiving the screen mirroring signal.
  5. Inspect App Settings: Some apps have their own sound settings. Check the app’s audio settings if you are mirroring from an application.
  6. Update Devices: Ensure that your Android and TV firmware are updated to the latest version. Outdated software can lead to compatibility issues including sound problems.
  7. Check Audio Mirroring Support: Not all screen mirroring technologies transmit audio. Verify that your method supports audio along with video.

If these solutions do not work, consult the user manual for your Android device and TV, or contact their customer support for assistance. Remember, a seamless screen mirroring experience with sound is achievable with the right troubleshooting steps.
