Trying to play audio from Mac laptop while chrome casting

[Badvalleys]

Hi there,

I bought a chrome cast because I wanted to wirelessly play movies from my laptop to my Epson projector 

And I want to play the sound from my laptop, from a headphone jack, into my speaker system.

So think of it as you would if everything was connected manually. HDMI cable for video, audio cable for audio.

So when I chrome cast, the sound probably goes to my Epson projector now. I dont know how to get the sound to stay in my laptop so I can have it going through my stereo system.

Any help would be deeply appreciated, thank you.

There is no way to do that unfortunately. When you cast the content, Chromecast gets the entire video and audio stream. Some users have worked around this by using HDMI splitters with Chromecast, but your mileage may vary and this isn't supported by Google.
