Audio Share

Audio Share can share Windows/Linux computer's audio to Android phone over network, so your phone becomes the speaker of computer. (You needn't to buy a new speaker😄.)

Usage for Windows GUI

• You need a computer with Windows 10 x86_64, and a phone with Android 6.0(API 23)+.
• Download APK file and AudioShareServer.exe from latest release.
• Open the AudioShareServer.exe on your computer. The default arguments may work well. But you may still have to check the "Host" part. It's normally the LAN address, such as 192.168.3.2. Make sure your phone can connect your computer over this IP address. Then Click "Start Server" button.
• Install APK to your phone and open it. Modify the "Host" part to make sure it's same as the value of previous step, such as 192.168.3.2. Click "▶" button and enjoy the audio🎶.

Caution!!!: This app doesn't support auto reconnecting feature at present. Once the app is killed or disconnected by Android power saver, the audio playing will be stop. Adding app to the whitelist of power saver is recommended.

Usage for Windows/Linux CMD

• Your Linux distro must have a PipeWire(0.3.xx).
• Download the audio-share-server-cmd-windows.zip for Windows, the audio-share-server-cmd-linux.tar.gz for Linux.
• Uncompress the archive file.
• Find the LAN address of your computer, such as 192.168.3.2. Then run as-cmd -b 192.168.3.2 to start the server. It will use the default port 65530 and select a default audio endpoint.
• The Windows will ask you to add firewall rules automatically while Linux not. So you need to configure firewall manually if your Linux distribution enables firewall.

sudo firewall-cmd --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" destination address="192.168.3.2" port port="65530" protocol="tcp" accept'
sudo firewall-cmd --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" destination address="192.168.3.2" port port="65530" protocol="udp" accept'
sudo firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent

• Install APK to your phone and open it. Modify the "Host" part to make sure it's same as the value of previous step, such as 192.168.3.2. Click "▶" button and enjoy the audio🎶.

Compile from source

• Android App

  • Android Studio will import all dependencies automatically.

• Server MFC

  • vcpkg is required for install dependencies.
  • Run vcpkg install asio protobuf spdlog to install deps. The vcpkg triplet is x64-windows-static-md.
  • Visual Studio 2022 with "Desktop development with C++" workload and "C++ MFC for latest v143 build tools (x86 & x64)" option is required for compiling.

• Server CMD

  • CMake and a compiler support C++20 is required. Linux also need libpipewire-dev or pipewire-devel.
  • Install vcpkg, and set VPCKG_ROOT env. This env is required by CMakePresets.json.
  • Run vcpkg install asio protobuf spdlog cxxopts to install deps. The vcpkg triplet is x64-windows-static-md for Windows, x64-linux for Linux.
  • Run cmake --preset linux-Release to configure.
  • Run cmake --build --preset linux-Release to build. The as-cmd is located in out/install/linux-Release/bin/as-cmd.
  • For Windows, replace linux to windows in previous two steps.
