Stream audio from your Linux PC to your phone

1. Start AudioRelay on your PC

2. Start AudioRelay on your phone

• Go to the player tab

• Click on your PC

Listen to the audio only the phone

You're hearing the audio on your phone but, also on your PC. You can prevent that by creating a virtual audio device on your PC.

1. Create a virtual audio device

Create a temporary virtual audio device

• Open a terminal window

• Type this command

pactl load-module module-null-sink \
	sink_name=audiorelay-speakers \
	sink_properties=device.description=AudioRelay-Speakers

This creates a fake audio output device, it will be removed when your PC reboots. Or if you type pulseaudio -k in a terminal window.

Create a permanent virtual audio device (recommended)

These are the same instructions as above but, the virtual audio device will persist between reboots.

• Open the file /etc/pulse/default.pa

• Add these lines at the end

# Creates a device which your PC will output sound to.
# AudioRelay will be able to listen to it.
load-module module-null-sink sink_name=audiorelay-speakers sink_properties=device.description=AudioRelay-Speakers

• Open a terminal window

• Type pulseaudio -k to make PulseAudio reload the file.

2. Use the virtual audio device

• Open the Volume Control

  • If you don't have it, you can install it via sudo apt install pavucontrol

• Click on Output Devices

• Set AudioRelay-Speakers as the default output device

3. Listen to the virtual audio device

• Open AudioRelay

• Go to the server tab

• Select Monitor of AudioRelay-Speakers
