    Chromecast issue: iPhone SE sends video to TV but not audio

    I’ve run into an odd Chromecast issue with my in-laws new Hisense Android TV, which has Chromecast built-in. They have an iPhone SE. If they try to Chromecast a video to the TV from the Google Photos app, the video will play on the TV, but the audio comes out of the iPhone SE. They also have a...

    iPad Pro Streaming movies to TVs while traveling? Apple TV vs Lightning AV vs Chromecast?

    When traveling and taking only one device, I usually opt for my Surface Book or MacBook Air 11 because it's so easy to use a DisplayPort -> HDMI cable to watch TV on hotel TVs. Wouldn't mind the option to take the iPad Pro instead, but the TV output story is more complicated. I have a...
