Chromecast Audio still works! They just don't sell them anymore. I use mine every day, and have been keeping an eye out for anyone selling theirs...

In absolutely shocking news, it did stop working and then Google went out of their way to fix it.
I genuinely thought all the chromecast audios I owned were useless bricks and was looking around for replacements and then they just started working again from an OTA update. Astounding. I assume someone got fired for taking time away from making search worse to do this.

They are still selling their remaining stock and vowed to keep supporting it with bug fixes and security updates: https://blog.google/products/google-nest/chromecast-history/
Of course another question how long they will honor that commitment.
Hmm, good to know. But given Google's history, I assumed that it would stop working.
I also need to sell my Google Chromecast with Google TV 4K. Brand new, still in its shrink wrap. Bought it last year, to replace a flaky Roku. It was a flaky HDMI cable instead. I trust Roku more than Google for hardware support.
