SoundWire - Audio Streaming 3.1a

This is the SoundWire free version. SoundWire allows you to stream your music or audio from your Windows or Linux PC to your Android mobile devices. It has multiple uses, including being used as a remote speaker or wireless headphones, a way to listen to music and movies from your computer anywhere in your house or over cell networks, and as a wireless extension of live audio from your PC-based music system.

SoundWire does audio mirroring (audio cast), allowing you to use any music player on your PC or laptop, such as Spotify, YouTube, or iTunes, and stream the live sound directly to your Android device over WiFi.

SoundWire has low latency (audio delay), which makes it ideal for listening to the soundtrack of a movie or YouTube video while you watch. (Note: You must adjust the buffer size in app settings for low latency). It can also be used as a baby monitor or listening device with a computer that has a built-in microphone. Additionally, you can hook up turntables to your computer's line input and stream a live DJ set to another part of the house over WiFi or anywhere else over 3G/4G (additional network setup may be needed for 3G/4G).

Prior to using SoundWire on your Android device, you must install and run the SoundWire Server application on your Windows/Linux PC or laptop, which serves as the source of music, web audio streaming, or other sounds. The server can also be installed on Raspberry Pi. Please download the server only from the official website: https://georgielabs.net.

Key Features:

• Live audio capture and streaming
• Excellent sound quality (44.1 / 48 kHz stereo 16-bit, PCM or Opus compression)
• True low latency (unlike AirPlay, Airfoil)
• Easy to use
• Compression option greatly reduces network usage
• Stream audio from PC to PC running x86 virtualized app (Linux/Windows)
• Compatible with all Android versions back to 1.5, making it suitable for older phones

The free version of the app includes voice identification every 45 minutes and displays ads. It also includes a 10-minute compression trial. Upgrading to the full version removes ads, voice identification, and unlocks unlimited Opus audio compression. The full version also allows you to handle multiple clients and offers a special Pro Mode to set and display buffer latency precisely in milliseconds. Supporting the developer by purchasing the full version is encouraged.

Please note that SoundWire will work on most Android TV devices but needs to be sideloaded. After that, it will update normally through Google Play.

If you encounter any issues, please be aware that most problems such as dropouts and trouble connecting are often related to your WiFi network configuration. The most common reason for connection problems is incorrect firewall settings on the PC or router. For more information and troubleshooting, refer to the SoundWire documentation available at https://georgielabs.net/SoundWireHelp.html.
