AudioWire

English · Español

Stream the audio from your Windows or Linux PC to your Android phone over Wi-Fi.

Usage

1. Open AudioWire on your PC.
   • Windows: when the firewall prompt appears, allow private networks.
   • Linux: make it executable with chmod +x audiowire and open it.
2. Install the APK on your phone (allow "unknown sources").
3. Open the app on your phone: it finds the PC on the network and connects by itself. If it does not find it, enter the IP address shown on the PC and tap Conectar (Connect).

If the connection drops, the phone reconnects on its own.

The app interface is currently in Spanish.

Connected devices

On the PC, click the status line (● Conectado · 2 móviles ▾) or open Dispositivos (Devices) in the tray icon menu. Each phone is listed with its name and IP address, with these options:

• Desactivar audio (Turn audio off): it stays connected but stops receiving sound, until you pick Activar audio (Turn audio on).
• Renombrar… (Rename): The PC remembers it even if the phone's IP address changes. Leave it empty to go back to the original name.
• Bloquear (Block): the PC ignores it and stops showing up on the network for that phone. Unblock it from Bloqueados (Blocked).

The phone sends the name set in its Settings. With an older version of the app, only its IP address is shown.

Requirements

• A Windows PC, or a Linux PC with GTK 3 and PulseAudio or PipeWire (Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Fedora 35 or newer).
• An Android 7.0 or newer phone.
• Both devices on the same Wi-Fi network.
• UDP port 5005 allowed through the PC's firewall.

Project structure

• pc/ → Windows app in native C (Win32 + WASAPI), a single .exe with no dependencies.
• linux/ → Linux app in C (GTK 3 + PulseAudio/PipeWire).
• android/ → phone app, which plays the audio.
