I tried to set it to the Chromecast sink but I got silence then I got a noise that got louder and louder.

The latency is working. Before I route the loopback to the Chromecast I can hear an echo on the local sound card. I need to somehow delay the local playback but that's where the loopback is being picked up from. A chicken and egg problem? I don't think it's worth spending much energy fixing this.

It works but, as expected, it is not in sync. So the source of the loopback is the monitor source of the chromecast sink? I am now looking for a way to delay the local playback but I can't figure out how. I tried latency_msec=3000 but it set's the latency on the Chromecast. If the source of the loopback is the monitor source of the chromecast sink, increasing the latency of the loopback module should increase the latency of what is played to the alsa sink, not the chromecast sink. It's a known problem that something is wrong in module-loopback related to the latency_msec paramter: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80770 The loopback patches that Georg Chini submitted recently probably fix the latency_msec parameter behaviour. The bug Tanu is referring to should already have been fixed with pulseaudio 10.0, although with the loopback module of 10.0 it will take quite a while until it has adjusted to the correct latency. You can check the latency of module-loopback if you enable debug logging.

He has given me an alternative with the loopback module: load-module module-loopback sink=alsa_output.pci-_00_1b.0.analog-stereo Then pickup the loopback on the Chromecast. It works but, as expected, it is not in sync. I am now looking for a way to delay the local playback but I can't figure out how. I tried latency_msec=3000 but it set's the latency on the Chromecast. I am sure it can be done but my pulse audio-fu is very limited, any help will gratefully appreciated.

I have tried to mute and unmute just in case, but still no sound on the Cromecast :( I have attached a snapshot showing all streams.
