Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has managed to get Audio Passthrough working. So if you've got a movie file which has DTS or Dolby Digital sound, and you connect your phone with a HDMI dongle to your Audio receiver which can process DTS or Dolby Digital, to actually get surround sound out of it.
I've tried VLC and MX player, none worked. If I connect the exact same equipment to my laptop, it does work. So it must be either the video apps or the phone. I've tried multiple settings in the apps (of course I've enabled audio passthrough), didn't change anything.
Any help on this?
Thanks!

How to stream Video only to chromecast not the audio!
I have a laptop connected to the audio system!
now i got chromecast on my projector (have no audio output)
i stream video from my laptop to my projector work fine but i have problem the sound! when i stream any video to chromecast on my computer have to sound of the video im playing!
is there the way to by pass this? stream video but also on pc still play audio of that video?
When you use a native Chromecast app for casting, it "hands off" the request to the Chromecast and the Chromecast itself goes and retrieves the data. Essentially the Chromecast itself plays the content, so the audio and video come out of it.
If you cast a tab or the entire desktop from a PC and don't enable the audio, it should play audio from the PC, but the audio and video probably be out of sync.
Otherwise you will have to "break out" the audio from the HDMI stream with an HDMI audio extractor (make sure it is HDCP compliant) or other converter, or route the Chromecast through a HDMI A/V receiver so it can play the audio.
I apologize. I was incorrect. When you cast a tab or the entire desktop, the Chrome extension somehow mutes the PC audio... which in your case would leave you with no audio at all.
So you'll have to "break out" the audio from the HDMI stream and get audio that way.

Something like the options in the ling below may be what you need.

But in the setup the audio would have to go from this "box" to your audio system.
Chrome cast to "Box"
"Box" to projector for video
"Box" to audio system for audio
I have read that other have used a similar set up to get video and Audio to a monitor that doesn't have a HDMI input. I don't know if sending the Video to the projector and the audio the the audio system would produce sync problems. One way to find out.
I don't see a way to get audio out from you laptop using the Chromecast.
Hope this helps
I was just watching a video on my TV with VLC player using cast entire screen and audio through my PC worked fine, just had to set an audio delay in VLC to get audio synced. I did this thru my bluetooth stereo adapter but I thought there was a minute before I setup the bluetooth that the audio worked through the PC speakers.

It's one of the following...
1 - You need to change settings on the TV to pass Audio or to Use External Speaker (setting vary from model to model so some hunting and pecking for correct settings is in order)
2 - You need to check your HDMI connection between the TV and the Speakers. HDMI-ARC (Audio Return Channel) usually works on only one input of the TV and it should be labeled as an ARC input. If thats correct then check settings (see #1)
3 - If you have an older TV that does not have ARC support you need to connect an Optical Cable from the Audio Out of the TV to the Amp. If you have that then again See #1!
Take note that EACH INPUT on a TV will have it's own Settings for Audio, CEC, and ARC so just setting the TV defaults may not be enough. Check to see if your Inputs have their own Audio/Speaker config settings.
when i connect my tf701t with a hdmi cable to the tv set and play a video file
used various players bs player , mx player, vlc but the sound seems very bassy. i have reduced the tv settings but it makes little difference. is there a way of configuring the sound on the tablet?
please advise?
Try the DSP Manager. It gives you several sound tweaks and an equalizer.

my asus is not rooted? its standard firmware
This is a question I have seen no answers for it. There are two outcomes when trying to use Dolby passthrough or DTS
Either the video works great and the Audio even though it shoes as Digital Dolby on the Receiver stutters or Digital Dolby works great but DTS just shows up as Digital Dolby and the Video does a slight stutter like every 2-3 seconds ??
Any answers ??

I have the same problem, using remix mini and hdmi output to marantz 7.1 av receiver then my tv.
on latest kodi, playing a movie with dts or dolby, sound stutter per 3-5 seconds.. tried/changed many settings but sound always cut per 3-5 seconds.....
I have the same exact issue with my Sony amp and remix os. I use Kodi on android [remix mini].
It works though with OSMC on Pi1 and Kodi on Windows.
Does anyone know of a single input, single set of outputs, 5.1 Dolby Digital/DTS decoder that actually works with the Chromecast?
I'm using a Chromecast in an outdoor theater setup, with it plugged into this "extractor":
http://a.co/d/7m2UFHS
with the extractor's HDMI output plugged into a projector HDMI input. I have the extractor's front L/R, center, surround L/R RCA outputs running to an amp, with the amp's outputs connected to the five speakers.
Trouble is, the extractor doesn't actually appear to do anything to produce audio going out the center or surround outputs. I assumed it decoded the DD/DTS audio signal so the 5 channels would be separated into the corresponding RCA outputs. Otherwise, I have no idea how those outputs can ever get sound going out of them.
My two uses for the chromecast are Netflix and casting video files from my computer via VLC player. The files are mostly mkv with 5.1 AC3 audio.

Or a codec. Have you tried hardware encoding Vs software encoding within the player? Mx has this option for sure.
There are some other codecs out there but haven't bothered to test.
Not a great call for surround sound unless you're projecting onto a screen in which case the hdmi would take care of this for you.

Yeah I've tried HW vs SW encoding, didn't change anything.
My goal is to connect the phone to an external receiver, and then a projector.

So won't hdmi carry the audio like that? Itll be down to the player really.
VLC with a codec pack. Or concert the file to something more compatible.

It would if the player passes it through, but it seems like VLC just down samples the audio to stereo. If the video file has DTS VLC plays it in stereo, so I don't need a codec pack, otherwise it wouldn't play it at all.
Have you find a solution?
