SAN JOSE: Google has begun rolling out a software update to restore functionality to thousands of second-generation Chromecast and Chromecast Audio devices, which were reported to have stopped working for nearly a week.
The update – announced on March 13 and rolling out "over the next few days" – is designed to restore the dongle's ability to connect with smartphones and tablets for streaming.
