The only sensible way to cast to your amplifier is canned. That's alarming enough and I have no idea how I will replace that functionality.
Not that the chromecasts are a wonder of ingenuity or anything, it's just that they are stupid enough and big enough to get software support. Nothing else is comparable.
- JelteF 8y agoFor 20 bucks you can get an hdmi audio extractor[1]. So for a little bit extra money you can simply connect the regular chromecast to your amplifier. [1] https://www.amazon.com/slp/hdmi-audio-extractor/xc32yz93wutk759 https://www.amazon.com/slp/hdmi-audio-extractor/xc32yz93wutk...
- tjoff 8y agoProbably the only solution but it isn't pretty. Can't find anything like that locally so it will be easily the cost of the chromecast just for that. And I can't find anything about whether it will resample the audio (dealbreaker), or how it will negotiate that. I'm sure there will be a couple of unforseen issues as well. My chromecast occasionally disconnects itself, which means that you would have to rewire the hdmi cable to the TV just to have a clue of what is going on (can my parents or house gets figure that out when I'm not around?). And yet another device and power brick.
