Help in connecting Wiimpro to Google Chrome on TV

[hynotes]

I have a turntable going to Wiimpro line-in and line-out to my stereo receiver. The hard wired system works fine. When I attempt to access Chrome, the system switches to wifi and I lose all sound. I would appreciate any suggestions that would allow me to run the turntable to my wired system and the Chrome simultaneously. Detailed instructions would be a real plus! Many Thanks!

What's 'the Chrome'? WiiM devices can only output to one destination type at a time.

How are your devices connected?

The chrome is on my " smart" TV. Are you saying I can only have audio out to my hard wired system, or Chrome, but not both simultaneously?

 

[Burnside]

You can only have one audio out active at any one time. What are you trying to send to your TV? I'm still struggling with what you're trying to do

I want to listen to music from my turntable through my hard wired system and simultaneously hear it on the soundbar that is connected to my TV in another room.There is Chromecast on that TV that I can use for video. I was hoping to just use it to hear music from the turntable, while also having the same music play through my hard wired system at the same time.

No, that is not possible. There is no Chromecast out of the WiiM. Only input.

And as already said. Only one output type at the time.

If your soundbar has an input like optical or RCA, you can add another WiiM (Mini) and make them play the same to both speaker systems.

Thank you very much. I can now stop beating my head up against the wall. Would you happen to know of any other solution (device?) that would work?

It is. The additional WiiM Mini can be placed at the soundbar. The connection (linking ) between the WiiMs is via your local network (WiFi).

That's good news. Please excuse my lack of tech abilities. How do I get the turntable, currently connected via RCA plugs to line-in on the Wiimpro, to communicate with the new WiiM?

 

[Burnside]

you group them in the Wii home app. First choose the device the turntable is connected to on the Browse page, click the link/chain icon then select the second WiiM. Anything playing on the first WiiM will also then play on the second WiiM, whose output (optical or rca) should feed into the soundbar.

Thanks so much. You have been extremely patient and helpful. Looks like I'm headed to another Wiim.
