Using two Home Mini speakers. Each is connected to the same 2.4G network, each
is in the Kitchen room, the physical speakers and android phone (also connected
to the same 2.4G network) running the Home app are all within 10 feet of each
other. The two speakers involved are named Kitchen speaker and Kitchen speaker
2. In the Home app chose Kitchen speaker device, then the Settings icon (cog),
then Audio, then Stereo Pair. I paired Kitchen speaker with Kitchen speaker 2,
set Kitchen speaker as Left channel, accepted default name “Kitchen pair”.
Done.
Using VLC on my laptop (also connected to same 2.4G network), chose to cast to
Kitchen pair. Played Beatles “Come Together”. Result is half stereo sound.
Kitchen speaker plays the left channel sound, but no sound comes from Kitchen
speaker 2. Using Kitchen pair eqaulizer, if the slider is centered, Kitchen
speaker makes sound and Kitchen speaker 2 remains silent. If I move the slider
so it is over the R, Kitchen speaker makes no sound and Kitchen speaker 2
remains silent. As I move the slider toward L, Kitchen speaker makes more and
more sound. So, Kitchen speaker is receiving left channel stereo bits and is
playing them, but Kitchen speaker 2 is either receiving right channel stereo
bits and not playing them or is not receiving the right channel stereo bits.
I installed VLC app on my phone. Did same test. Got same results.
My phone is running Android 8.0.0.
