I attended a wedding recently but (for once) wasn't hired to shoot. I was the best man but had my drone and Sony A7IV with me, I was able to capture the preparation in the days leading up to the event. I've offered clips to the videographer/s and editors that were hired, but I'd like to remove all audio before sending.

Thing is, I want to keep all the original codec settings, and simply remove the audio. But when I add it to AME and select Match source, it obviously ticks the audio. Plus, AVC is not a selectable codec, I'm guessing it's somewhat similar to use H.264 (but then do I need to set the bit rate manually to VBR, 200mb/s)

Here's the start of an idea. Many of the more "modern" Arduino boards, based on samd21 or esp32 chips, have a DAC output. Some have built in sd card readers. Add a small amplifier. You may have to record the audio files in WAV format instead of MP3, but high capacity SD cards are cheap these days. Research the board first to make sure it has a low current usage when in some kind of sleep mode. Many are not great at this, not because of the chip, but because of the other components in the boards, such as power regulators, power LEDs etc. You need to get the sleep current down to less than 1mA, but the lower the better. So careful research needed. Also check that the SD card reader and amplifier modules have a pin which shuts them down into a very low power mode, so the Arduino can shut them down when not needed.

So back in October, I was pretty excited to pick up a few of Google's then-new Chromecast Audio streaming devices. If you aren't familiar with 'em, they're little $35 pucks that plug into existing speakers and make them "smart." Buzzword, buzzword, buzzword -- I know. All that means is that you can stream audio wirelessly to your old speakers without any fuss, just by using the regular music apps you already have on your phone, tablet, or computer.

That was then, of course, and Chromecast Audio was still in its infancy. One of the system's most exciting features, a Sonos-like ability to cast audio to multiple speaker destinations at the same time, had yet to roll out. And that aside, the way a new type of technology seems in the first couple weeks often isn't the same as how it seems months later, once that new-gadget aura has started to wear off.

The biggest change since my original evaluation, not surprisingly, is the addition of that aforementioned multiroom support. The feature showed up via an over-the-air update to all Chromecast Audio devices in December and brought a whole new level of power to my ad hoc home audio network.

From there on out, whenever you're in an app with audio-casting support -- be it an official Google app like Play Music or a third-party app like Pocket Casts or Pandora -- tapping the cast icon will show your newly created group as an option along with all of your individual speaker destinations.

One of the extra devices goes with our main living room stereo, which is hooked up to a TV and also has a regular (video-based) Chromecast connected. Weird, right? Kinda: While we could already cast audio to that system via the regular Chromecast (provided the TV was on), we couldn't make it work as part of a multiroom audio-streaming group. That feature, as it turns out, works only with Chromecast Audio devices. So we're now using the regular Chromecast just for video casting (Netflix, Play Movies, and so forth) and using the Chromecast Audio for any audio-based streaming.

By having the Chromecast Audio attached there, I can stream to that speaker as part of a multiroom setup -- so the same music that's playing in our living room and kitchen (or wherever) can play there, too. And as an added perk, the nature of Chromecast Audio streaming means I don't have to worry about draining my phone's battery via a power-hungry Bluetooth connection; even though the speaker is designed to support Bluetooth, I'm just feeding audio directly into its 3.5mm jack (via the Chromecast Audio device).

So the final verdict? Four months later, Chromecast Audio is still an awesome audio-streaming solution for a family like mine -- even more so than it was initially, thanks to the addition of multiroom streaming and the cheap and easy expansion potential. Does that mean this setup is going to be right for everyone? Of course not. (You must be new here, eh?) Is it the end-all "Sonos-killer"? Nope -- not that, either. (And slap yourself firmly on the face for asking such a cliched question! Go on, now. Slap it good.) 2351a5e196
