Here is the deal!
Turns out my "smart" TV can hook up to my home WiFi and access the internet, but has only a digital (0ptical) audio out, and does not have even a simple 3.5 hedaphones jack. I understand (correct me if I am wrong), that if I hook up the TV's optical audio out to my 1970's amplifier thru a converter to analog RCA audio, I will not be able to control the volume of the TV thru the TV's remote.
So I am wondering if my "smart"TV would be able to hook up to a Chromecast Audio so that to send the TV's audio to Chromecast, which I will hook to the retro amplifier and hopefully would be able to remotely control the volume thru the TV's remote or thru Chromecast. Would the chromecast audio be beneficial in achieving my goal?
Thanks!
