Mod/hack Chromecast for audio only Anonymous 2017-01-30 11:59:15 Post No. 1123413 [Report]

I have two older chromecast models (pic related). I want to use one as a"chromecast audio" for a pair of speakers that hangs on the balcony (they use 3.5mm).
I've seen a guy that used a vga adapter to isolate the sound but it wasn't concrete, nor did he show any results.
I have a lot of soldering experience, time, money and tools.
I thought this would be a fun thing to do. (since one CC isn't in use).

>Inb4 No I'm not gonna buy a "chromecast audio", nor a network audio streamer.

I'm not sure on audio quality either, sense I don't have any experience with audio over network. Syncing is not a big issue, but I want the quality to be at least decent.

You need three 68 ohm resistors to make it work. You need to Google for a vga dummy plug to fool the hdmi into thinking it is connected.

Well to answer your question, no. There is no direct way to do this. You can use a media converter, or a reciever with a hdmi. The mini hdmi2av can be had for around £10.
