![]() ![]() To test that theory I used an HDMI to VGA adapter to try to get VGA into my projector, but had the exact same result.įinally, I tried to configure the Chromecast with JUST the optical audio out from the extractor without video so that it wouldn't try to guess what the audio was, and then hooking up the video after. ![]() I wonder if the same is happening with the Chromecast, only it's too "smart" to just push the audio through? However in Manual mode it seemed to pass through audio just fine. This theory does have additional evidence: When setting up my PS3 I had to set the sound set up to "Manual" rather than "Automatic" - in automatic mode, the PS3 said the HDMI connection had no audio capabilities. I have heard that the ChromeCast tries to be smart about it's A/V capabilities, and there is a chance it may be looking at the HDMI connection, seeing that the projector has no Audio capabilities, and giving up, but I don't know how to attempt to reconfigure that, and there are certainly other people out there who have made my exact setup work, and I can't imagine what they are doing differently. I've tried multiple reboots and factory resets to no success. I've tried all 3 audio toggles on the Audio Extractor (Pass-through/2.1/5.1) and none work for this. So the extractor works and the cords are fine. I tried the exact same setup with my PS3 instead of the chromecast, and it worked - video and audio, with the exact same hookup. And Optical Audio OUT to my sound system. So my setup is - Chromecast into the IN of the HDMI Audio Extractor. I've seen this exact model discussed elsewhere online, so as far as I know, others have used it successfully with Chromecast. I have a home cinema projector with no audio out, so in order to make my chromecast work I bought the J Tech DHDMI Audio Extractor.
