Stadia Chromecast causing intermittent sound loss on my other HDMI devices.

TV: Sony XBR-65X900E Receiver: Yamaha rx-a850 I discovered a weird (and reproducible) bug on my Home Theater setup. When I'm not using my Stadia Chromecast it causes sound loss for a fraction of a second intermittently on my other inputs. For example, when I watch Netflix on my tv (embedded Android TV app), the sound would glitch intermittently. I tried connecting the Chromecast to either one of the TV or my receiver and the problem persists. When it happens, I see that my receiver does not receive/process an audio signal (the speakers indicators goes off / sound is muted). I confirmed it was caused by the Chromecast, because when I unplug it, everything is OK. As soon it is plugged to my tv/receiver, the audio glitches come back. My current workaround is to unplug the Chromecast from my tv when I do not use Stadia. Does anyone else is experiencing something similar? Someone, told me it could be related to some Google Home/Assistant conflict issue (muting sound to hear a command), but it happens too often and it is not related to the Google Assistant keyword and I don't have a Google Home in this part of my house. NOTE: while I'm playing Stadia games on the Stadia provided Chromecast, the sound is perfect.

I don't have more info or help but just wanted to let you know you're not alone.  I've seen some similar reports on reddit.  Audio seems to be an issue in general with stadia right now as people were also reporting issues with headsets and the like as well.

If you want to add me as a friend my Stadia name is the same as my community name.
