WiFi Audio Streaming
WiFi Audio Streaming is an Android application that allows you to stream audio over your local network. It works in two modes: as a server, to capture and send audio from your Android device, and as a client, to receive and play audio from another device. It supports automatic device discovery and has a modern interface.Key Features:Server & Client Modes: Use the app to send (Server) or receive (Client) audio.Internal Audio Streaming: In Server mode, stream your device's internal audio (requires Android 10+).Automatic Discovery: Clients on the local network automatically find available servers, no need to enter IP addresses manually.Unicast & Multicast Support: Stream directly to a single device (Unicast) or to multiple clients simultaneously (Multicast), ideal for multi-room setups.Audio Receiver: In Client mode, play another device’s audio directly on your phone or tablet.Detailed Audio Configuration: Customize sample rate, channels (mono/stereo), and buffer size.Modern Interface: Built with Jetpack Compose and Material Expressive, the UI is clean, responsive, and intuitive.Multi-Server Support: Run multiple servers on the same network by changing the connection port in settings. Ensure both client and server use the same port.The project is also available for Windows, macOS, and Linux! Turn your computer into a wireless audio transmitter or receiver.
