Our TV has issues outputting sound to our speakers, which I can connect to a Google Chromecast Audio. We use a regular Chromecast on the TV, and I was wondering if it was possible to have the TV audio outputted to the speakers. Thanks!
Not really.
With some hacks you could get this sort of working, but the two devices will never be in sync. Even if you got the Chromecast devices synchronized perfectly, your TV itself will have latency.

My goal is to be able to write sheet music in Musescore and then have the audio output of the playback routed to Ableton Live.
I've tried using loopMIDI audio and LoopBe1 as virtual midi cables.
I have the Jack audio driver set in Ableton's audio preferences under ASIO drivers. As seen in the photo, it seems that Ableton is recognizing the virtual midi cables as an input. I have Musescore's Jack audio settings enabled. I have a midi instrument set up in Ableton. However, when I play back audio in Musescore Ableton doesn't seem to be recognizing any input.
I was trying to follow along with this tutorial. However, they seemed to omit certain details. For example, as seen in my image I was only able to route general sound/midi devices together not specific [left1,right1] to another [in1,in2]
Today I've connected my bluetooth headphones(Ausdom M08) with PC(via bluetooth dongle).
When I open Skype or Discord I hear no sound on youtube, browser and so on. It only works on Skype and Discord - bad sound, not stereo.
I checked in Sounds Options and I have Ausdom M08 Stereo and Ausdom M08 Hands-Free. First one is default device and second one is default communication device.
When I try to force Skype and Discord to use that default device for sound output I hear no sound then, too!
What I tried:
-Disabling Hands Free Telephony, but I lose microphone function then.
-Tried to uninstall drivers and install again. Still the same.
-Disabling enhancements and exclusive controls of devices.
Literally I tried everything I found on internet or that I thought it can be.
Nothing works.
So the question is: How to make my PC output Stereo Sound from my headphones and still to be able to use microphone from it?
Thanks
There are a lot of missing information here: What PC dongle are you using? Which windows version?
From what I can see about the tech specs of Ausdom M08, it supports few basic profile (HSP/HFP/A2DP/AVRCP). A2DP profile lets you hear stereo audio (Ausdom M08 Stereo). HSP/HFP lets you use the microphone to Skype, but audio is limited to 8K-16K Hz sampling rate (Ausdom M08 Hands-Free). You can't use both Bluetooth profiles at the same time.
So to answer you question: You can't have stereo audio from your headphone while having microphone input.
There are proprietary codec developed by Qualcomm called aptX, which may support microphone over A2DP. But, you'll have to make sure both transmitter and receiver supports this codec.
I have a stream which I want to cast to a Smart TV. But the streams contains audio format which is not supported by Chromecast as of now. But the Smart TV is capable for playing this audio format. Is there anyway I can tell chromecast to do a passthrough for this audio through HDMI?
No, there is no such functionality in chromecast.
I wanted to know if it is possible to program one chromecast device to send video to another chromecast device acting like a receiver. I have browsed the API reference on the Google developer website and it doesn't seem to be supported, but also doesn't say it isn't supported.
This is not currently possible, and probably never will be. Chromecast devices don't "source' video, they only transfer from wifi to an HDMI output. it is possible to play the same stream on two different chromecast devices, but there is no way to synchronize them at the moment. In theory this is something the devices could support.
Is there a way to change flash players audio output device? if not, is there a swf player who has this possibility? Thanks!
I had an issue until a few minutes ago regarding this.
Two audio devices are available to my XP box: an iMic USB audio I/O device, in which I have permanently plugged my desktop speakers; and a pair of USB headphones with microphone that I plug in occasionally.
The USB headset would take precedence over the USB iMic for applications because apps appear to access the last device plugged in to a USB port. With this in mind, here was my issue:
I would be listening to some Internettings on my USB headset.
Later, I would want to use my desktop speakers for the Internettings.
This entailed unplugging my headset, shutting down Firefox and opening it up again. Because the desktop speakers are considered the most recently plugged in device, they would be default for plugins.
This is damned annoying, I said to myself, and decided a little hacker mode was in order.
Keeping Firefox open, I used Task Manager to kill the "plugin-container.exe" process. This showed a crash screen on any Flash Player applet in Firefox. Then I unplug the headset, and reload the Web page with the applet. Without restarting Firefox, Flash will then play through my desktop speakers.
If I wish to listen on the headset again, I plug the headset in, kill plugin-container.exe, and reload the page. Wham.
For as rare as I intend to switch audio devices, this will cover up part of the mess Adobe left.
I am 99% sure that setting the audio device used by the flash player is something you would need to do on an OS level. You can change the device that flash uses for microphone and video input from the player's settings, but I don't think you can change audio output.
I have found a solution, at least for the Firefox browser, to direct HTML5 audio to a specific audio device:

Note: this is a new Firefox addon waiting to be reviewed developed by a friend of mine.
I have been waiting for this for years.
I wanted to use this when my wife is seeing YouTube on her Chrome browser and me seeing anything like Coursera online MOOC lectures (FF) on the TV which is connected to the pc. I wanted to hear my classes on the headset and my wife on the speakers for YouTube.
I have 2 mouses (one for me, wireless) and have installed a neat program called TeamPlayer which gives multiple cursors (each cursor for each mouse).
So I have now literally the capability of 2 persons working on 1 pc.
And on top of that it works seamlessly with "Enounce Myspeed" for speeding up the video lectures' playback.
