Separate Audio Output - Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers

Hello,
Does anyone if it is possible on the Pixel 3a to output audio from different apps to different audio devices? Apparently Samsung has this feature (Separate Audio) but I can't find anything analogous to that for the Pixel. Specifically I would like to route an audio book (Libby) to wired or Bluetooth head phones and Spotify to Android Auto or Car Bluetooth.
Thanks!

[Q] Android: How to use two sound outputs at the same time?

I want to hear the voice navigation through my connected Bluetooth headset but music through the 3,5mm audio output which is connected to my car radio.
Is it possible to get sound from two different applications (navigation & music player) to two different outputs on a rooted Android 2.2.1 device?

Bluetooth multi-routing

Does anyone know if it's possible to route audio to two bluetooth speakers at the same time, preferably in Android or IOS devices?
I know in the past bandwidth was a big issue, but I'm sure bluetooth 4.0 would be able to handle two audio streams.

So is there a way to have audio simultaneously on Bluetooth and Stereo plug ?

Hi all.
So I want to have audio output to both, simultaneously, to a remote Bluetooth-receiver (which is on the other side of my bedroom's wall) and to a stereo 3.5mm connection next to my phone.
Right now, I can have audio to one, but not both (Bluetooh, OR, 3.5mm).
After much searching, I am 50% happy using the app Turbo Alarm because it can play audio simultanously to my Bluetooth receiver and the phone's loud Speaker, but NOT to the phone's 3.5mm plug (silent).
Any thing you know that can do the trick ?
Thank you all.

The hardware in your device is designed to only output audio one way or the other, not two or three. It's a limitation built into the hardware, you aren't gonna change it.
There is, however, a solution to your problem, it involves external hardware.
You will need a 3.5mm Y cable and a Bluetooth audio transmitter, plug the cable in your 3.5mm audio jack, connect whatever device you were gonna run via audio jack to one side of the Y cable, connect the Bluetooth audio transmitter to the other side of the Y cable.
This will allow playing audio to both but it won't allow them to listen to different media, they will hear both receive the same audio.
If you want the listening devices to be able to play different audio independently, then you'll have to consider other hardware such as wireless flash drive, it can stream audio to up to 8 devices and stream video to 3 devices, each of them watching or listening to different things independently of each other.

Dual Audio solutions for Android ?

Background:
I have Galaxy Note 9
also have 2 bluetooth speakers - Marshal Tufton that also have aux input.
Initially I used them with the Note 9 bluetooth dual audio solution, however they often desync and I have to reconnect them which is very annoying.
Also tried with regular AUX spliter, however the volume is a lot lower than the bluetooth variant.
Question 1:
Is it possible to use the Aux and the USB-C(converted with Aux adapter-C adapter) to output media audio at the same time?
Question 2: Is there such thing as portable Audio splitter and amplifier(with integrated battery), I searched in aliexpress but found only amplifiers that are with single output aux or amplifiers + splitters that are not portable (require wall charge).

Wired AndroidAuto and sending audio through Bluetooth

I recently installed an after market AndroidAuto unit in my car, it is only available as a wired connection, which is fine. When I plug my device, the sound is routed through the USB (and from there to the unit's AUX interface) which sounds crappy.
My car's bluetooth stereo sounds much much better.
According to Google's site and some other sources, it is not possible to re-route the audio through Bluetooth.
Is there some kind of mod or an application (combined with root) that can actually work around this limitation?
