Chromecast Audio cannot stream audio

widdde

Hello!
I have recently bought a Chromecast Audio and tried to hook it up in my network. All went good and it was no problem to set it up. 
When I try to cast audio I get the signal in the chromecast that it is starting to stream, but my devices (android phone and ipad) can
not successfully connect when trying to cast so no sound can be delivered to the chromecast.
Spotify works perfectly on both devices and the chromecast audio device is visible in spotify, but spotify just says "connecting..." and
then it times out. 

I seriously think the UTM is the problem and I need to know how I can configure the UTM so this works? 
In the FAQ for the device it says that upnp should be enabled, but the UTM doesn't have upnp, am I right?

Kinda tired of all struggle with the firewall :P
Please help me!

    Looks like I need to activate "Multicast forwarding" and IGMP to get the Chromecast Audio to work properly.
    Found a sophos guide how to activate Multicast forwarding, but my webadmin does not look and is not the
    same as in the guide.. I do not have the features or menu choices as in the guide :(

    Can somebody please help me! All help is appreciated!

    This is the guide I found:
    https://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/123135.aspx
    I do not have a "System -> Routing -> Static Routing" menu choice..
    I only have "Interfaces & Routing -> Static routing" but I do not have the "Enable Multicast Forwarding" option..
    Hell I am tired of this firewall right now :P

    Does anybody has a chromecast audio and can tell if you experience any problem with it? I can't be the only one with a sophos UTM and a chromecast audio on this forum? :P 
    Right now the chromecast audio is a piece of garbage for me because of the firewall.. 
    I do not understand the Multicast routing menu.. I read the sophos guide but the guides is pretty useless because it does not explain what everything is.
    What is a "Rendezvous point router"? Do I have to set up some kind of external router or what does it mean? The guides just point out the obvious, 
    "type in the hostname for.." and does not explain what the hell it is at all :P

    Frustrated.. sorry.. :P

    I've got the same issue with chromecast audio and UTM 9. Has anyone been able to get their chromecast audio to stream from Pandora or Spotify reliably? Would appreciate incite from anyone to config settings.

    Hi!
    Looks like nobody has a solution on this one. I have googled it and found absolutely nothing about this. Looks like nobody has the combination Chromecast audio and Sophos UTM. 
    I am currently looking to replace my sophos with pfsense instead to see if it works better. I really hate to not get things to work.
