I'm wondering if this is feasible to do with an arduino (or two):
I want to be able to send audio, live, from my computer to my arduino, which will then output it into a sounds server (which controls several speakers at once; this part is already done) using a headphone jack. However, at the same time, I also need the TV monitors to also show the video, in sync with the audio. The TV in question already has an Apple TV installed, if that's of any use. I can use it for screen mirroring. I have a couple of solutions in my head, but I'm not sure if they'll work. They're to have two arduinos, one which handles the TV and one which handles the audio. One can be the master, and one can be the slave. Alternatively, my laptop can play the video which is broadcasted to both of the arduinos somehow. The TV and the audio servers are quite far apart (the audio servers are in their own room)
Is this possible? If so, would you please give me some guidance on how to do this, such as a materials list (e.g., if I need to breadboard something, what components do I need), and what I would do with them (a step by step guide is not necessary, but appreciated if you already have one for a similar project).
Thanks for your help.
EDIT: The sounds server that controls the speakers is done. It's been that way for several years. I'm trying to plug an arduino in to a stereo in port that will allow for me to live stream audio from my laptop to the sounds system. I'm adding new functionality to existing infrastructure.
I'm impressed that you have managed to use an Arduino to transmit good quality Audio but video is far beyond its capability.
You need a Raspberry Pi or a cheap laptop.

The audio part isn't done. I was wondering if it was possible. Would it be possible to do that?

I obviously misunderstood what you meant by "this part is already done"
IMHO an Arduino is not at all powerful enough for good quality audio - which is why I was surprised when I thought you had it working.

Sorry if I was a bit confusing. I meant that there is already a audio amplifier, that is connected to many speakers. It's able to play preloaded songs, which is the current usage. However, it also has an input that I can plug in stereo cables. I plan on using an Arduino for this. In other words, the server to plug the arduino in is done, but the arduino to allow for live audio streaming, from my laptop, is not. The sounds system is separate, I'm trying to link it up to the TV monitor using an arduino.
Ok, this is a scaled down version of a previous post, since I was told that was impossible. I want an arduino to be a wireless part that my computer can connect to and act as an audio receiver. By this, I mean that my computer plays a sound, which is instantly sent to the arduino, which then transmits it to a speaker via a stereo port. It's essentially a long range bluetooth speaker (except not necessarily with bluetooth if bluetooth isn't necessary.
Is this possible, or would I have to move on to a RPi for this?
OP's previous Thread
I don't know why you think you are asking a different question. It seems the same question to me and the answer is still NO
Use an RPi as I already suggested.

PS ... please click Report to Moderator and ask to have the two Threads merged so all the info is in one place
So why do you think an Arduino has any part to play in this given that it has no audio functionality?
Teensys do.. The teensy people are all about audio.
