Assistant won't start Music on Google Cast Device in Standby

Configuration
1

Hello all,

I have set up Music Assistant, the Music Assistant voice scripts for LLMs and the Spotify Integration. Hardware-wise I have also installed a Xiaomi Smart Speaker via Google Cast.

I can select the speaker in Music Assistant and play from there. But it won’t start the music, when called via Assistant (either text-based from the WebUI or via TTS).
It does however work, when the speakers are awaken by MusicAssistant “manually” - after that I can control them with Assistant commands…

Any idea what’s going wrong?

Thanks in advance,
pheidrias
