# Home Audio Setup / Snapcast

[Speaker controls](http://snapcast.brechtel:1780/)


We use [Snapcast](https://github.com/badaix/snapcast) to transmit music through our house.

Snapcast is an Open Source multi-room audio software package. It consists of a server that controls what is playing and clients connected to speakers through out the house.

We have a "Snapclient" in the following rooms

- Front porch
- Living room
- Dining room
- Office
- Bedroom
- Heidi's room

Most of the Snapclients are running on a Raspberry Pi (of different variations Pi 4, Pi Zero, Radxa Zero).

The Living Room uses "real" speakers with an amp, while other rooms use Bluetooth speakers connected over line-in.

The Dining Room uses a Bose speaker that has USB audio input - which is nice because it avoids ground loops and means power+audio is delivered via a single cable.

I haven't been able to find any other speakers that have this option and that speaker is kind of old.
