Chromecast tts not working or intermittent

Configuration
1

I started having issues with Google tts to Google home devices. This always worked and suddenly the past few months it stops working.

Sometimes the device is not found but the second command to then stream music to it, does work…

I’ve also noticed that the Google grouping speakers function makes it stop streaming after 30 seconds. Doesn’t matter what the source is. I can still see the progress bar moving in Spotify but no sound is coming from the speakers…

I’m using a unifi wifi, switching and router setup (usg3, acpro and 48poe) already disabled all the advanced features and all the devices are in the same flat network.

Any suggestions?
