# 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 - but I haven't been able to find any other speakers that have this option. |
