Audio from windows to android

Краткое описание:
SoundWire позволяет отправлять любую музыку или аудио («что вы слышите сейчас») с Вашего компьютера на Android устройство.

SoundWire lets you send any music or audio («what you hear now») from your Windows or Linux PC to your Android mobile devices, or other PCs. Use it as:
— A wireless extension of your PC-based music system for parties
— A remote headphone amp (wireless headphones)
— A way to listen to music and movies from your computer anywhere in your house or out on your deck.

The full version of SoundWire enables unlimited Opus audio compression, can handle up to 10 connections at the same time, and has no ads or interruptions. It also has a special Pro Mode to set and display buffer latency precisely in milliseconds. You can use any music player on your PC or laptop like Grooveshark, Spotify, YouTube, or iTunes and feed the live sound directly to your Android device. SoundWire lets you listen to the free versions of Grooveshark and Spotify on your phone.

SoundWire has low latency (audio delay), which means it can even be used to listen 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). There are other uses too. SoundWire can work as a baby monitor or listening device with a computer such as a netbook that has a built-in microphone. 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.

Features
— Live audio capture and streaming to multiple clients
— Not locked to one music player
— 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
— x86 and MIPS support, stream music from PC to PC running virtualized app (Linux/Windows)
— Record SoundWire audio to a file (MP3 or WAV)

Before using SoundWire on your Android device you must install and run the SoundWire Server application on the Windows/Linux PC or laptop which is your source of music, web audio streaming, or other sounds. Download the server at http://georgielabs.net/

How to Stream Audio or Sound From Win­dows Com­put­er to Android

Ashish Mundhra

18 Sep 2012

Playing a video with speakers on isn’t always feasible. And using the headphones all the time isn’t convenient. The perfect solution to this would be wireless headphones that give you flexibility of position and posture while watching a video on your desktop or laptop.

Yesterday we saw how to use a Bluetooth phone headset as a wireless headphone for the computer, if you don’t possess a wireless headphone. But then, a Bluetooth headset isn’t that common either. What do you do if you don’t have it?

Previously, I have demonstrated the process of streaming sound from Android to my laptop using Bluetooth. I thought, there must be a way to do the reverse.. stream audio from computer to Android. That’d solve the purpose, isn’t it? You can watch the video on your PC but listen to it on your Android. Kinda interesting, no?

After a bit of research and testing, I got a decent app that could easily stream computer sound output to Android speakers which can be heard over a plugged in network and all that over the Wi-Fi network. So let’s see how it can be done.

Note: The strength of the Wi-Fi network could be a factor here. To reduce sound latency, have both the phone and the computer neat the Wi-Fi router.

Streaming the Sound

Step 1: Download and install SoundWire client on your Android and the corresponding server on your computer. After installing both the apps on respective devices, launch them. You might have to grant firewall access to the program on your computer.

Step 2: Now look for the server address that’s displayed on the SoundWire server and write it down on the Android app. Having done that, click on the SoundWire image on the app to connect the client with the server.

Step 3: After successful connection, the SoundWire image will change from white to orange. You can now play anything on your computer and the output will be streamed to your device.

You might experience some delay in sound (very small in my experience) while watching a movie. Just head over to the settings and check packet buffer size, and test a few different settings. I am sure you will find a near perfect setting to fit your setup.

Conclusion

The app does a decent job in streaming computer sound to Android device as long as the network connectivity is good. Free users of the app can hear sounds for a stretch of 30 minutes after which we have to restart the app. As there is no limitation on number of times the app can be run, you can keep restarting the app and continue, or buy the pro version if you think it’s worth it.
