How can I make a smart TV streaming device (Chromecast, Kodi, etc) use speakers connected to my Linux computer? - eviltoast

Hello all,

I have speakers of decent quality connected to my Linux pc which I use for gaming.

I want to be able to use the same speakers when I watch TV. I currently have a Chromecast with Jellyfin client running. Jellyfin is actually running on the Linux pc I mentioned earlier.

What would be the best way to play the audio from the tv content I’m watching from those speakers?

I was considering if it’s possible if pulseaudio could be used in a client server model, and somehow have something like Kodi use it?

I am willing to replace my Chromecast with a raspberry pi or a similar device if it solves this issue.

    i use a decent hardware mixer and cables but then i’m old 😋

    behringer makes smaller mixers 1 2 for people who don’t need dozens of input/output

    analog is easier :)
