the wired speaker thread got me thinking about the 2 chromecast audios i have had sat in boxes under my desk for the last 6 months.
i have a tv, humax pvr, respberry pi and chromecasti connected to onkyo htx 22 hd amp with 2 x wired speakers.
anyone got any suggestions as to how i can use the 2 x chromecast audios and setup info to enhance the sound in the room

Best to use them to set up multi room music. Adding more to your existing room wouldn't gain much, unless you attatched it to a better HiFi set up.
I have one set up via my main music speakers and others set up on the TV system, in the Office, kitchen and bedroom.
I recently purchased Google Home and this has just brought everything together nicely with no need to keep using phone or tablet.Drinking Rum before 10am makes you

Plug one of them into a phono, or prefereably optical port on the Onkyo (and find a USB port that's live somewhere if you can) and listen to music from your phone or tablet (or computer) through your HiFi. That's what it's for.0

I thought they already had that set up,Plug one of them into a phono, or prefereably optical port on the Onkyo (and find a USB port that's live somewhere if you can) and listen to music from your phone or tablet (or computer) through your HiFi. That's what it's for.
Which is why I thought it a waste to add another in the same room.i have a tv, humax pvr, respberry pi and chromecasti connected to onkyo htx 22 hd amp with 2 x wired speakers.
Maybe I got the wrong end of the stick...:oDrinking Rum before 10am makes you

They both play audio casts. The only time it's important is if you wish to tie them all up in a group, then they won't mix.Drinking Rum before 10am makes you
