I am using ubuntu 20.04, I have a google nest mini which I am using as a Bluetooth speaker. I am trying to play audio from both my laptop speaker and the google nest at the same time. I found some solutions online, which seemed to work for older versions of Ubuntu, but nothing for the version I am using. I tried them and one of them(The first answer form this question) works, which apparently creates a virtual device that broadcasts the audio to both speakers. The command was
pactl load-module module-combine-sink
.
This does play audio from both speakers, but there is a significantly noticeable delay in the audio output of the Bluetooth speaker compared to that of the laptop speaker, which defeats the whole purpose.
Can anyone point me towards a solution to this issue?
Thanks in advance
