Playing music to multiple Samsung TVs

Hello hive mind!

Caveat - I am not the most tech-savvy person when it comes to TV technology.

I have 2 Samsung TVs - one is a smart TV that is about 5 years old now, and one 2023 Frame TV. They are positioned in living areas in different rooms, but across the same floor/similar space.

I would love to be able to play music to both TVs at the same time, so that sound can be played across the rooms / space.

I've had a bit of a look into it and see that buying a Chromecast for each TV would enable this, as I could then add them both to Google Home as a speaker group - but this seems like a bit of admin when both TVs already have smart functions so I don't really see the need for Chromecasts otherwise, and I don't own a Chromecast so would have to purchase these.

Am I missing something simple here? Or is this not very doable, and something like surround sound/speakers that pair up is better?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

    I would also post this on Geekzone in the Home Theatre forum if you haven't already, probably a lot of user crossover between the two sites, but likely more people there who would know about this sort of thing. I've always found them very helpful.

    Samsung tv itself won't be able to do it as far as I am aware. You need something outside of the tv to get it work.

    I would rather post this on reddit as well to get better response and ideas.

    Chromecast is the solution, however a cheap Google second hand Google nest mini / Google home mini speaker to use for music in each room would probably be a better solution than powering up the tv with a Chromecast for music.
