| 1452962 | 2018-08-22 08:13:00 | Yep, I can play the same source to any combination of sinks (hdmi tv, headphones, speakers, network clients and bluetooth speaker) or separate streams to any combination of different sinks, but the bluetooth stack only exposes ONE a2dp device at a time. I can have multiple speakers connected, but only one can be registered as an audio output at a time. Looking into the dev forums, there seems to be some code has been written and conf options for allowing more than one, but it hasn’t been fully implemented (may also depend on specific, non-reference hardware). |

| 1452964 | 2018-08-22 11:23:00 | The basic workings remain the same. Everyone still needs to use the AmpMe app — which is free and available on iOS or Android. One person acts as the “host,” and they can play music from SoundCloud, YouTube, or their own local library. AmpMe uses high-frequency sounds to sync all the devices together, and rom there, there’s no upper limit on the amount of speakers or phones you can loop together. The only limit is that you can only connect one speaker to each phone.Same "one device" limit applies. | fred_fish (15241) | ||
| 1452965 | 2018-08-23 22:53:00 | I know Sony has a "party chain" feature on some of their Bluetooth speakers that allows them to play audio on multiple speakers We do it with three, but supposedly supports up to ten speakers), but one downside is that the speakers have to be within a metre of each other. | the_bogan (9949) | ||
