Why am I having issues listening to live radio on my Google speaker?

Smart speaker | Under investigation

*** Monday 18 May ***

We are aware of an issue where live BBC Radio streams aren't playing as expected on some Google speakers. The stream may cut out, or the audio may repeat or 'loop'. 

Google are investigating this issue. We will update this page when we know more. 

In the meantime, some users have found that casting from the BBC Sounds app or website to the affected speakers has helped. For more help and information on this, have a look here: How do I use Chromecast with BBC Sounds?
