re: Muting issue with SECN

SECN and + are not part of the base DTV package, but is a $10/mo. option, IIRC. I've been watching SECN+ both via internet with a browser (WatchESPN) and with the DTV ESPN app and haven't had any audio issues...yet. I'm on AT&T fiber.

Now down 24-21 with 3 min. left in 3rd, but Lions are moving.
Searching "LSU" in the Watch section no longer works for me either, as it shows no upcoming or live games like it did before. I now must trudge through the entire list and find the game I want. Not really a big deal but not as easy as before.

Furthermore, another glitch has shown up lately. If I start watching the game on one computer, then move to another room and launch it on another computer on the LAN, I get "0067-No IP address found from request header." To fix that, I must log off my provider (not ESPN) and log back on. This started since changing from Cox to AT&T DirectTV Stream about a month ago, so it may be an ISP-related issue.

Yet another irritation that's come up is that it won't allow me to watch the game on both computers at the same time. Sez I've exceeded my streaming limit. I didn't know I had one, actually.
Don't see it in the Watch-ESPN listings. Anyone else getting it?

I agree and those two are about all that keep me tuned in.
Where are you guys seeing the game? It's not on WatchESPN.
As an update to my reply above, no improvement to buffering or audio by updating Chromecast app on phone.
I called Cox and the tech told me the problem was likely WatchESPN, which I believe since I'm not haveing trouble with other video streaming. I then called Google Chromecast tech support and they recommended following these steps to troubleshoot the problems I mentioned earlier (buffering and audio problems):

1. Update the Chromecast app.
2. Update the WatchESPN app.
3. Update my Chromecast to the new model (Gen.2).

On my Android phone, going to Settings > More > Application Manager and clicking on the Chromecast app I found that I had v1.12.32 while the Play Store showed the newest version to be 1.15.7, and it gave me the option to upgrade, which I did. It is now listed as "Google Cast" at the Play Store and in the Application Manager.

The WatchESPN app showed v2.4.2 while the Play Store listed the latest version as 4.1, but I wasn't given the option to upgrade. I uninstalled, then re-installed, and the version showed as unchanged.

I didn't upgrade the hardware (Step 3). Before the Google Cast upgrade the LSU game today was free of buffering on my computer, which is hard-wired to the router, but a normal amount with the Chromecast. After updating I started watching the UF-Vandy game and had no buffering at all. I won't pass judgment until the next LSU game on Tuesday, though. The audio issues remain, however.
I'm having the buffering problem and more, as is a friend with whom I often watch games--both of us with Cox and Chromecast. Additionally, when game play is going on we both only get the right audio channel (both right speakers with my 5.1 setup), but it returns when the commercials cut in. At each transition there is a disconcerting cracking noise. If game play is going on when casting first starts both audio channels are working, but the cycling begins after the first commercial break. This pattern has been the case since first installing the Chromecast, which was last season. I don't recall if I had buffering problems last season.

When watching on the computer from WatchESPN.com there is no left-channel dropout but the cracking sound is much less noticeable. I have seen the buffering on the computer in the past, seemingly every game so far this season, but it is not doing that today.

I don't know about my friend, but my router is 802.11 ABGN, which is current wifi technology. Chromecast is wifi while the computer is wired with CAT6 to the router.

Same here, sporadically working on WatchESPN for a while, now nothing either via Chromecast/phone or on the computer. All games affected, not just LSU. Getting errors: "There was an error communicating with the network...." Everything other than WatchESPN (YouTube, etc.) works fine.

I've had a similar issue since installing the Chromecast. When I first launch WatchESPN the audio works on both left and right channels, but after the first commercial break I hear a very brief crackling sound and the left channel goes out. When commercials return the left channel recovers, then off again when the game resumes. I have the CC connected to my AV receiver (HDMI input), not the TV. This audio problem does not happen with WatchESPN on the computer, and a Google search reveals others having the same problem but no resolution.

This is the sequence for every game:

1. When casting begins, both channels work during game.
2. After first commercial, left channel goes off.
3. Next commercial, left channel on again.
4. #2 and 3 repeats as long as the game is on.
5. Stop the cast and start it again, go to #1.
