I have since decided this is NOT a great idea. Due to it being an amplified audio source, there is clipping on the output at 100% volume. This was not readily apparent on my home theater setup, but when plugged into other output devices it was. I then started seeing the same issues with the output to my receiver while playing music with a heavy bottom end.
A way to fix this issue is to review this guys guide and use the resistors like he did. I will be posting an update to this soon (maybe). https://www.reddit.com/r/googlehome/comments/7ioe2u/i_added_an_aux_audio_port_to_the_home_mini/
So a while back I picked up a Google Home Mini. So far it’s been great. From reminders, to weather, streaming music, cooking timers, facts… you know all the stuff the thing will do. But there is one thing, above all else, that my family uses it for, and that is streaming music. While the sound is impressive for such a tiny unit, I still find it lacking. And although you can pair two of them up wirelessly and use them as a stereo pair, I desired something with a little more umph. I wanted to be able to hook it to my receiver. But without any kind of external analog audio in/out, I was out of luck. Until the new wore off…
