Abstract
Various data (e.g., audio) relay devices and methods are disclosed. An exemplary data relay device may comprise a first chip configured to wirelessly connect to one or more physical sink devices, and a second chip. The second chip may be configured to create one or more virtual sink devices configured to be wirelessly detectable by one or more physical source devices, in response to the one or more physical source devices wirelessly connecting to the second chip, obtain data from the one or more physical source devices, and transmit the data to the first chip, causing the first chip to relay the data to the one or more physical sink devices.
