Fixed a grouping issue with other Chromecast built-in speakers (read below):
1. 3rd party Chromecast built-in speakers using a Google SDK less than 1.52GM2 can not be grouped with 1st party Google speakers any longer. This update brings the Bar 9.1 up to 1.52GM2, which means once again, it can be grouped with 1st party Google speakers
Software update resolves the issues with the "Google Home" app if you are using an Android phone (read below):
1. Speakers with an SDK less than 1.52GM2 set up with a Google Pixel phone need to use a new, additional app called the "Device Utility app" to complete the Wi-Fi setup. After this update, customers may use the Google Home app as normal for Wi-Fi setup
General software and performance improvements:
1. Sometimes there was a 0.5sec audio drop during ARC streaming with PCM format, now improved!
2. Import MTK patch to solve continuous distortion after connecting Apple TV to a Sony TV while playing PCM stream in eARC source.
