Hello Stephen Napier,
 
Thanks for reaching out. That is a great question! I understand how great surround sound can be to enhance your listening experience. I would be more than happy to help answer your question.
  • My suggestion would be to make a speaker group.
    • Group any combination of Google Nest or Home speakers and displays and Chromecast devices together for synchronous music throughout the home. Your music and audio from Chromecast-enabled apps are instantly available to stream.
    • Compatible devices include: Google Home, Google Nest Mini (2nd gen), Google Home Mini (1st gen), Google Home Max, Google Nest Audio, and Google Nest displays, Google Nest Wifi point, Chromecast with Google TV, Chromecast, Chromecast Ultra, Chromecast Audio, and devices with Chromecast built-in.
  • Creating a speaker group is a quick and easy process!
    1. Make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi or linked to the same account as your Chromecast, or speaker or display.
    2. Open the Google Home app Rdianco_0-1630348360593.jpeg

       

      .
    3. At the top left, tap Add Rdianco_1-1630348360606.png

       Create speaker group.
    4. Tap each device you want to add to the group. A check Rdianco_3-1630348360589.png

       

       will appear next to each device you select.
    5. Tap Next Rdianco_4-1630348360602.png

       

       enter a name for your group Rdianco_5-1630348360608.png

       

       Save.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!

I have a Sony TV with built-in Chromecast that I am trying to add to a Google Home speaker group. I can see the TV in Google Home (and can play music from Google Home on the TV) but when I try to create a speaker group, only Google speakers appear in the list of items to add -- TV isn't an option. I have unplugged and replugged in the TV, have cleared Google data/cache on TV, have updated software for Google and Chromecast on TV, verified that TV and phone/iPad are using dance Google account and wifi -- but no luck. Any ideas?
