I have the same issue. Casting is using my internal url. While my external one is configured correctly..

I am experiencing this as well. I have for quite a while actually. It seems to be random.

Home Assistant is reachable internally or externally via the same host name. HTTPS works on both. If you query home assistant internally, the response is the internal IP. If you query it externally, the response is my routers external IP which is then port forwarded the internal IP. Like I said, both ways use the same FQDN and SSL is enabled and works either way you access it.

The really weird part is I'm able to set the volume and anything else with the speakers. In fact, I hear it set the volume which is in my automation before it should cast and then it does nothing and then the error. And then it sets the volume back like it is set to do after casting in the automation.

At some point it just stopped doing the casting at all. I haven't heard it actually cast the broadcast audio in a month or two maybe. I've lost track. Every time the automations fire, all I get are the volumes being set as it's configured to do but no cast audio in-between. I'm unable to even do it via a service call to the TTS say, the deprecated one or TTS speak. They both give me the same error. I've even tried to tell it to cache it. Hoping that it might mess up the first time but then just pull from the cache every other time. Hoping that maybe it was a latency thing and it was timing out. No luck.

In the same boat for the past couple of months... Any ideas?

I have the same issue. I use Chromecast dongles. I cannot cast local media or dashboards. The TV screen will go blank, and I get a spinning circle. If I cast one of my Unifi security cameras (rtsps) from Homeassistant, it does work. For me, casting local media and dashboards has never worked.
Homeassistant has an internal ip address (192.168.x.x). I also have an external ip address that the router forwards to the internal address. Homeassistant has a valid letsencrypt ssl certificate. Homeassistant is at version 2024.6.4.
