  • Help Setting up SoundWireServer on a Pi! All steps seem to work fine, then at the last step I get "No such file or directory", even though it's there! This is driving me crazy.
    Good point, but I did get the RPi version, straight from https://georgielabs.net/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Stream my PC audio through my notebook speakers
    I see a lot of software that can stream a desktop audio through a phone, like Soundwire or Audiorelay, but I'm looking for something to use my notebook speakers instead and I can't seem to find one. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Are there better options for broadcasting my desktops audio?
    Still only does the audio, but soundwire works over your network so will work as far as wifi: https://georgielabs.net/ used it for months and other than the interrupting voice saying "free version" it was pretty stable and consistent. You can also tweak app settings to either reduce the latency or increase robustness to network jitter. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Can I use my phone as a bluetooth audio transmiter for my computer??
    I've been using SoundWire for this and it has worked well. https://georgielabs.net/. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Looking for a software to stream PC audio to a raspberry Pi
    Soundwire is the solution you're looking for https://georgielabs.net/. Source: about 2 years ago
