===Audio Casting Limitations===

Google was involved in a long-standing legal battle with '''Sonos''' regarding multi-room audio patents. As a result of this dispute, Google was forced to remove the ability to adjust the volume of a "Speaker Group" (multiple Chromecasts playing at once) using the physical volume buttons on a smartphone, requiring users to open the app and adjust each device individually. This degraded the user experience for thousands of customers who had purchased the devices specifically for synchronized home audio.
