Thanks.
Just a thought - was the audio you were trying to extract regular 2-channel PCM audio? Many of these extractors won't be able to extract anything other than this. If the audio was Dolby Digital for example, it may not have been able to extract it.
On the HDMI interface side the Chromecast appears to be very standard, so the same adapters and extractors should work on that side if they work with any other HDMI-connected device.

I would check androidcentral.com and google for advice. Usually a bluetooth audio receiver would be the best and can usually be found for under $30. That's what I use to play music from my Android device or computer to my surround sound.
How would you selectively send the video only to the Chromecast and the audio to the Bluetooth receiver though? Not aware of how you'd do this?
