Hello XDA community,
Here is the way of screen mirroring using the classic Google Home application, but keeping the sound on your smartphone. (Hell Yea)
For a perfect case scenario, you should have close to zero latency while casting to Chromecast.
Steps:
1. Download a "Fake Call" android application from Play Store.
2. Mirror screen and sound on your Chromecast, with the classic way.
3. Launch a fake call using the application of step 1, answer it and press the Home button on your phone to go back to your launcher. (Do not close the call, make the smartphone "think" you are still talking with your friend on your smartphone
)
(4.) Launch a youtube video and notice the sound is sent to the chromecast but you can still hear it on your phone ...
I know it is a bad way of casting a video, but it is the only costless way keeping the sound for people like me with setup including HDMI->DVI adapter and old screen.
(For fun you can ignore the steps above and make a Skype call while mirroring your screen and audio to Chromecast, this way you will see how I've found the glitch!!)
Have a nice day, George.
