Will this play sound from the sound bar when streaming from a Google Chromecast or Apple TV?

Yes. It's connected to TV so it will play sound from anything as long as thru TV.

I can't answer your question directly, all I can do is tell you how I used the converter. Basically the converter extracts the audio (only) from a HDMI device. What I built was an awesome Wi-Fi music streamer. Chromecast to Audio Converter to 1.5 FT RCA Cable to SMSL T-Amp and out to a pair of Bose 151 Outdoor Speakers. Here is the parts list except for the speakers. Anyone can now use their smart phone to stream high quality music outside through this device and it works great. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DR0PDNE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DMZOUVK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003L1717K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A2QLGEQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks for your question. Actually none. The Bluetooth will allow you to play music from another device through this bar in addition to the audio from the hard-wired connection to a TV

I have not tested this, but would guess it would. My setup is I have a surround sound system which several hdmi and other connections to it and one hdmi cable out to this and I am able to switch with no problems. I plan to test this out, but I do not currently have a chromecast.

I've it synced to Bose 1SR and it does pass audio from all hdmi ports.Your Sonos bar should work like any other sound bar with an optical port.

No, you won't be able to do that. A cheap solution would be to get the $35 Google Chromecast.

yes. you use the t.v. remote to tell it how you want to get sound. Through the t.v. or an external source (pioneer soundbar). Love my pioneer.

No. You would need an AppleTV or equivalent to interface from a stream to HDMI

I can stream any sound from my MacBook Air, iPhone and iPad just by setting the sound output to AirPlay and selecting the MC200Air. I do not know how it works with Android.

It works with my HTPC and Roku, but not my Chromecast. For some devices you do need power.

No. It will only scream to iOS devices. And at this time it will only stream in the home network not outside the home network.

Yes it does. It plays pretty much any sound that would come from your device.

The Chromecast does not have a USB port, therefore it will not work with the Chromecast

Yes. You're able to program the sound bar to receive signals from any remote. The manual has step-by-step instructions on how to do it.

No clue. I have my Chromecast attached to a port and works fine, sorry to hear :(

it does not. It has two inputs, a optical digital cable and a headphone sized 1/8th jack. I bought a very inexpensive bluetooth receiver from amazon and plugged it into 1/8' jack on the soundbar for music from iPhone and iPads...all the rest of the devices (blu-ray player, Apple TV, Direct TV DVR) that go into TV via HDMI are pushed out of TV and into soundbar via the optical cable (included) I think this is a much better idea than making the soundbar a HDMI switch of sorts. I see the optical out on all the flat screens around these days by the way...this soundbar sounds great, it replaced a large 5.1 system that didnt work in new family room.

Yes! Its best to use the remote that comes with it so you can switch to different inputs. I have the Chromecast hooked up myself it works fine. It also displays 1080p if you have a source that plays 1080p such as blu ray, ps4, Xbox one.
