While there is no official Audible app for Sony TV platforms, getting your audiobooks to play is easier than you think.

Part 1. How to Chromecast Audible to Your Sony Smart TV

The most seamless way to play Audible on your Sony TV is by using the Audible casting feature that's already built into the Audible app on your smartphone. Since most modern Sony TVs have Chromecast built-in, this process is simple and direct. It allows you to use your phone as a remote control while the audio plays through your TV.

Step 1. Ensure your smartphone and your Sony TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. This is essential for casting to work.

Step 2. Open the Audible app on your Android or iOS device and start playing the audiobook you want to listen to.

Step 4. Tap the Cast icon. A list of available devices will appear. Select your Sony TV from the list. The audio should stop on your phone and begin playing through your TV's speakers.

Part 2. How to Play Audible on Sony TV Using Bluetooth

One of the most straightforward ways to get Audible on Sony TV is by using a direct Sony TV & Audible Bluetooth connection. This method essentially turns your television into a large, high-quality Bluetooth speaker for your smartphone. It's a quick and wireless solution if you want to listen without much setup.

Step 1. Go to the settings on your Android or iOS device and make sure Bluetooth is turned on.

Step 2. Using your Sony TV remote, press the Home or Settings (gear icon) button. Navigate to the "Network & Accessories" menu. From there, select "Bluetooth Settings" and ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your TV.
