Connect Google TV streamer with WiFi speaker

seb85 — Sun, 19 Jan 2025 21:38:00 GMT

Is it possible to connect a wireless LAN speaker with Chromecast build in with my Google TV streamer via wireless LAN? I would like to listen to the TV sound through the external speaker. Or is it just possible to connect it via Bluetooth?

And is it possible to change the AV sync so that picture and audio play synchrony?

I Have exact same requirement to cast sound to Chromecast build in speakers (via WiFi then, not Bluetooth!) while video is plugged to a projector from the google TV streamer via HDMI.

How to achieve this?

thanks

You can only do that with Bluetooth. And, only to one speaker at a time.

Chromecast does not allow you to cast video to one device (your Streamer) while casting audio to another device (your LAN speaker).

The only case that works is to send both the audio and video to your Streamer and then tell the Streamer to connect to a Bluetooth speaker.

Thank you for your reply.
That's really a pity that Googles doesn't find a solution for that. With the much cheaper fire TV stick and a Echo/Alexa speaker the wireless lan connection instead of bluetooth works. And you can even change the AV synchronicity which google doesn't offer via bluetooth. So to use a bluetooth speaker when you use the google TV streamer and want to watch a movie doesn't work because audio and picture are not in sync.

Totally Agreed with seb85, such a problem for me to have desynchronization due to Bluetooth latence..

Any possibility to have a synchronicity parameter in next firmeware release..?
