Chromecast audio + Bluetooth

[Paddy Davison]

Hi,
I was wondering if it were possible to use a Chromecast audio in conjunction with a Bluetooth speaker. For example to use the cromecast audio in a room with an older hifi system and use a Bluetooth speaker to play the same music in another room.
Thanks

Chromecast is a device with audio output - you plug it into your receiver / HiFi system' Audio input, to stream music from another device.

Your Bluetooth speaker must be paired with another Bluetooth device (phone, laptop, BT transmitter). ANd unless your HiFi has an audio output, you need a way to "split" the audio from Chromecast in two - one going into HiFi, another going into BT transmitter. In most cases, simple Y-cable (2x3.5mm male, 1x3.5mm female jacks) will work. Of course, you'll need BT transmitter as well.
