I just got a GN and I think it is awesome.
I have however hit a kind of confusing snag.
If I try to stream music from my laptop using AllShare the streaming stops if I turn off the GN, but if I stream the music that is on my HTC Desire then I have no problem turning off the GN, the music will continue to stream seamleasly. It is in no way a major problem, but it it is confounding.
Does anyone know what the reason is for this anomaly?
How to stream Video only to chromecast not the audio!

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.
Hi all,
First off, thanks for the help.
I'm trying to cast a local file from my PC to the TV in my living room. The video plays fine, but there is no audio stream to the TV. There is also no option to turn the audio on at all within the browser.
Any ideas what the issue or extension I need?
Thank you!

The Cast extension should automatically redirect audio to the Chromecast when casting a tab or the full screen.

Cast the entire desktop to see if you get no audio at all, audio on TV, audio on computer, or audio on both?
Play a second then pause it. You should be able to determine if you get audio from the PC and TV, because the PC playback will be immediate, while the TV playback will follow a second or two later.
I get audio on both[/]b PC and TV doing this.
Now, cast just the tab and do the same.
I get audio only on the TV doing this.

If you are trying to view a MKV file, it will not have audio at this point.
Hello,
Here is what I'm trying to do...I typically use my phone as GPS (via waze app) and also streaming music over A2DP (google play music, or, another internet streaming service)
The issue is if I have turn by turn instructions on, it dims the audio stream to allow for the voice to be heard. This is a good feature and makes sense for most users.
However, there is an option in Waze to play sounds through the phones speaker. I only need a slight chirp of noise in order for me to understand I should look at the screen.
Except, even though the through the phone speaker is on, now it dims my A2DP audio, and then plays over the phone speaker...not the intended result on my part.
Therefore, I'd like to try to reroute the Waze app from media stream to something like alarm stream and then Waze dimming the Alarm stream will have no bearing on my media stream and my music won't dim every 3 seconds that there is something on the side of the road or a turn or a cop...it gets very annoying.
Any help will be appreciated.
Re-routing a specific app's audio stream. I researched it briefly a while back but never found a solution.
Be awesome if someone found a way. Post it up.
I often use Chrome to cast a video stream to my Chromecast. I am playing with a Win 10 laptop to a TV with the Chromecast plugged into it.
Sometimes, it comes through as screen mirroring (the video plays on both laptop and TV) and sometimes it casts directly through the Chromecast (the laptop switches to show a message that the video is casting, and the video only plays on the TV). I cannot figure out what triggers screen mirroring vs direct streaming through the Chromecast. Sometimes it will stream directly and then suddenly switch back to mirroring on the same video stream.
I would prefer to have the video stream directly through the Chromecast. The picture quality is better, less chance of audio lag, and less stuttering. Also, the laptop does not have to do all the work of rendering the video so it saves quite a bit on battery.
Anybody know how if there are ways to control this?
