Chromecast Computer screen and Bluetooth speaker

[Palexis]

hello,

I'd like to:

- cast the image of my Pixel 4 onto a big computer screen that no speakers

- and at the same time, get the sound on a separate Bluetooth speaker also connected to my Pixel 4.

Is it possible ?

Thank you very much

Both speakers also offer an aux audio input. You can take advantage of that by using a HDMI switch with audio extractor.

Connect the Chromecast device to the HDMI input of the switch.

Connect the monitor to the HDMI output of the switch.

Connect audio cable from the HDMI switch audio out to the speakers audio input.

This setup will make you independent of Bluetooth range and also preserve your battery.

You can still use Bluetooth connection only for audio only applications.

Alternatively, you may want to consider upgrading to Google Chromecast with Google TV, which has Bluetooth built-in, offering the possibility to connect it to your Bluetooth speakers.

Personally, I not a big fan of using Bluetooth, unless absolutely necessary, because its audio resolution it not high fidelity. Always prefer using high quality digital audio converters with coaxial, optical and USB audio inputs.
