Can a Chromecast use Nest Audio as a Speaker?

[@TechWithBrett]

So what do you think? Is this worth the hassle to get working and are you ok with large audio latency?

[@Lexfinity]

I got KZbin Music to play laggy music videos in a group with the 'move the music' casting feature. Started a music video on my phone app, casted it to my chromecast, and then asked my google assistant in my living room hub to move the music to my 'Hub Group', a speaker group of Nest Hubs around my house that now includes my chromecast. The first video will play no problem and the second video is noticably laggy. And if you try this trick on your Netflix app Google will tell you it 'Doesn't work for Netflix'... 🤨🤔✍️

[@SuperSamGalaxy]

I'm not really understanding what impact the Bluetooth capability has on the ability to do sync video with audio on different devices. If Google is able to send simultaneous audio to everything over WiFi, why can't video be included in that as well? I understand there may be latency differences, but I'm sure that could be compensated for. Anyway, good video, thanks for explaining it. :)

[@markymaarty]

Have they fixed the sync issue yet? It’s funny how they are all google products and they don’t work well. AppleTV doesn’t do this kind of issue. I just bought the googletv and 2 mini gen2 to try it out because it’s cheaper than the Apple products.

[@davidtofer3634]

Can I use 2 of the Google Home Max and Google TV together?

[@TechWithBrett]

Not yet. Rumors are that it will work soon.

[@markloughtonUK]

Shouldn't have to use Bluetooth at all. It should let you select a speaker group as the default sound playback device and remember that setting between reboots. Anything else is just a bodge job (UK Terminology!).

[@TechWithBrett]

Correct, if this ever gets support I image there will be a Default speaker option under the Chromecast settings that will use wifi and not Bluetooth.

[@RichardServello]

That would be ideal. I need new speakers for my tv and I would get a pair of these. But since it's impossible to do this I'll be looking elsewhere.

[@ThisIsBrendon]

What a lost opportunity for Google. Having compatibility with Chromecast GTV and nest devices is a perfect opportunity for Google to take over in the the home theater industry. Hope they get this up and running, would love to have a few hidden nest speakers working together as a 5 or 7 speaker setup.

[@tboyy1234]

I think this has to do with not owning the rights. Sonos speakers allow this. Sonos invented it and just sued Google for it.

[@RamsayandClements]

This is such a missed opportunity for Google and could be integrated natively. However, I can see that connection reliability would be a big con and the lack of physical audio ports on the speakers would make this hard to negate.

[@TechWithBrett]

From the technical side it sounds like a nightmare. I have always wanted a 3.5mm jack on them to help support this but I think with how good the Nest Audio pair sounds it could totally be done with just the speakers.

[@RamsayandClements]

@@TechWithBrett I've been looking at getting a pair of nest audio speakers. Was wondering if the pairing would sound better than a single Google Home Max. That's why I was looking if Google speakers could be the audio out for the new Chromecast then it would probably be an easier sell. But I wouldn't say that the Bluetooth work around is a viable option. Especially if I would have to ask the pair to connect via Bluetooth each time I turn off the Chromecast.

[@isomeme]

@@RamsayandClements , to my ears a Nest Audio stereo pair sounds better than a single Home Max. Beyond getting good stereo separation, the high and mid ranges are noticeably cleaner. I can hear tiny, subtle details in music that usually require good headphones to notice. The big downside is weak bass. It's actually amazingly good for such small speakers, but it still lacks oomph on the low end. I'm considering getting a Chromecast-enabled subwoofer and putting it into a speaker group with the Nest Audio stereo pair. If anyone has recommendations, I'd love to hear them!

[@RichardServello]

Literally any cheap bluetooth speaker can do this without a problem.

As always, Brett, I loved the thoroughness of your video. It's disappointing the Google has still not addressed this video/audio issue. Amazon has had a home theater solution for a while now, and I'm disappointed the Google has not kept up. Hopefully, they will get their act together soon if they want to stay competitive.

[@natejgardner8118]

This is the closest we've gotten, so great, but... I'm still shocked Google hasn't prioritized making a seamless experience between their audio products and their video products. Like... I just want my video to stream to my Chromecast and my audio to stream to my speakers and my Chromecast. The same technique used to sync audio across multiple speakers can be used with a TV speaker, which would take care of video syncing. Is it really more technically challenging than that? Please, Google!

[@CFL-TECH]

Interesting that Google hasn't released a sound bar yet.

[@WarlordMoA]

Some of these things can be fixed by firmware updates.. come on Google.

[@marijnvanwinden2528]

To anyone reading this now. This now works out of the box. You can group your speakers to your Chromecast in the app and have the sound play on the group. No need for Bluetooth. All speakers play the same sound though, unless you have a paired set for left and right. so no true surround options yet.

[@TheRockyLeong]

Is this new update? Does it works for chromecast ?(not with googletv)

[@ReObscura]

Did you send a report and feedback to Google? Why I ask is because when we are dealing with something like BLE/Bluetooth connection, it suppose to work normal once both devices uses the same codex and the low latency is usually fixed with software updates. It's nothing complex like zigbee, VoIP etc.

[@TechWithBrett]

So I directly reached out to Google about the Pixel Buds a week ago and they must have fixed some of the issues since I sent that in. My other question is what Bluetooth version is on the Google TV. Its specs state "Bluetooth" and the Nest Audio is Bluetooth 5.0. Every who does want this should use the "Send Feedback" command with Google Assistant.

[@NevetsM]

It works on insignia Amazon tv. There is an option to fix latency with connected blue tooth devices

[@AGunz982]

If you don't use surround sound option on the Google TV you can listen to audio in Disney+ with the buds.

[@TechWithBrett]

Thanks for the tip. I figured it might have adjusted that automatically.

[@VPC]

Can confirm as of the latest update there is 0 delay when watching movies on Plex with the Chromecast with Google TV and a first generation Google Home Mini. (5Ghz network)

[@TechWithBrett]

Interesting. I'll have to give it another go.

[@DeadlyFungi]

I got it to work with music videos that are only launched from the YT Music app on my phone. It would not work from the regular KZbin app only the music mobile varient.

[@nauxuywol]

There is a latency for Nest Audio stereo pair, because it streams 1 channel of Bluetooth to one speaker, then it uses Chromecast (via Wi-Fi) to sync to the other Nest Audio. I tried this setup before with a LG TV with dual bluetooth out channel, so pair 2 Nest Audio (not in a pair), both directly to the TV, and there's almost no latency.

[@SeanTylerismyname]

With the Max speakers, it's easier to use an Aux cable, but you can't use one AND have two Max speakers paired (it will cause a huge delay). Use a L and R splitter for a two speaker system, but one does great already. Another downfall of the Max speakers is that they will stop audio playback when the playback gets really quiet (like just before a jump scare).

[@fritsboersma255]

Is it possible to add an Bluetooth dongle to the TV in some way to connect ie to your TV? (nest audio connected (paired) with dongle, or standard "speaker") hope you understand my question

Also if you are bluetoothing from Chromecast with google tv. To a google home/nest speaker You can go to the google home app media section and add more speakers.

UPDATE: Can confirm this works! Go mess with this setting and you can fix the delay, woo! Idk if this will help, but if you go into the Google Home app on your phone, go to the speaker group, click setting, and scroll all the way down, there is a tab called "Group Delay Options" . Click that, and you can mess with the audio delay when connected to Bluetooth devices. Ill try it out once I get the new chromecast!

[@纽约霹雳狗]

I think that adjustment is only adjust delay between each of speakers in paired group.

@@纽约霹雳狗 I'll have to double check. After starting videos, adjusting the delay, then rewinding the video to adjust for audio, it seems to sync pretty much perfectly. Ill try all the same without adjusting the delay, see if it does anything. Im really enjoying using them so far though!

[@camscurrent]

The statement at 1:42 is officially correct but technically/unofficially incorrect. If you make a speaker group that includes the speakers and the chromecast and play some music then go to an app like Netflix, you will sometimes be able to cast video over wifi to the chromecast with the audio coming out in perfect sync from the google homes. I’ve tested and confirmed this on a chromecast ultra and a pair of google home Max’s. If anyone wants more detailed steps let me know. It’s cool but not very sustainable to do consistently.

With Chromecast with Google TV, there’s volume control and they sound louder than they did on the Fire TV... but they don’t stay connected. If I pause on Netflix, they’ll disconnect and I’ll have to forget the AirPods and reconnect them. It’s such a hassle.

Hi Brett, thanks for your videos. I have exactly the setup you mentioned. Projector with the chromecast with google tv plugged in it and Google Home Max used for the audio. However, I have two problems: 1) I still need to shuffle with two volumes - on the chromecast and also on the Home Max. Is there any chance to just shuffle with one? E.g. when the projector is turned on the Max goes to 100% automatically and I can just use the remote to tweak the volume on the chromecast to the final level I want. I tried routines but not successful. 2) Right now I do the above mentioned manually. From the home app I set the volume on Max to 100% and then I adjust the volume on the chromecast to some final level either through app or using its remote. But later when I finish watching and turn the projector down, the volume on Max stays 100% which means that when I ask assistant to turn the lights down, it screams like crazy and wakes up my child. Do you have by any chance some advice on what to do? Thank you.

[@itsmanuelrc]

So, I am wondering,how do you guys use chromecast in your tv when it comes to audio? tv speakers?

[@TechWithBrett]

I have a sound system plugged into my TV that the audio comes through.

I found a work around that works even if it's not optimal. I start Netflix on my computer and cast the sound to my Google speakers, then I use a hdmi cable to watch on my tv.

What is the easiest way to stream sounds from my outdoor speakers connected to a denon amp that has all wifi and google assistant capabilities? when I am playing a movie from a projector that is NOT connected to the denon amp as the amp is inside in a basement and speakers are outdoors?

I'm a little confused by the question. For a movie this is difficult. For music just create a cast group.
