Also, did the update resolve the Chromecast audio issue?

No update on my A6, still on 1.24.41627

Can you let me know what the update for the A6 included? I can’t tell whether my unit received it or not. There doesn’t seem to be any material on it on the Internet.

Not sure what’s going on, but my A9 MK2 and BS2 MK1 have both disappeared again from Google Home, and CC’ing is not possible again.

This happened in the first wave a month or so ago, were then restored but now have disappeared again.

Same for me. Casting just to my A9 seems to work, but casting to speaker groups that include the A9 is not. Stopped working a few weeks ago (A9 had disappeared from the Google home app), then a few days ago started working again and now nothing. A9 appears offline again in the Google app but is listed as a device. Chrome cast version is 1.28....

Airplay 2 also has sync/lag issues when playing in multiple speakers so at the moment in am left with playing to a single speaker at a time.

B&Os ads for connected speakers seem a bit ill timed tbh...

It's a shame that B&O does not promote their own multiroom better, it is flawless, always in sync, simple to operate, unique "touch to join" feature, etc ...

B&o own multiroom:

pass it on........

But a pity that is not multi vendor, so you are locked-in to B&O. Similar with Denon HEOS, etc, etc . 

When (if?) Google Home / Cast is working as it should, it is the most easy way to have a multi brand, multi room system. Let's wait for the software upgrade. My HK speakers also became very stable in a GC enviornment after the sw upgrade to GC v1.44. 

Did some more testing, and it seems that single-speaker GC functionality is still working stable with the v1.28 GC Versions on our B&O, also multi-room can work, but when one of the other GC devices in the same group starts to do something else (like my Google Nest), then the GC group is "broken". As restart of the B&O devices does seem to solve that temporarely. Far from ideal, but I am confident in the focus on this subject now with B&O, so let's wait and see.

Two comments there:

1: Multiroom - you might be right.....when one is willing to use the phone/tablet (or a Nest Hub) as the main controller.

2: Multibrand - when you use non B&O devices, you probably won’t care for the B&O app, the Beoremote, the Essence Remote, the Join function anyway.

So you can only be partly right there - and it is maybe not that interesting to most users here.
