My desire is to be able to listen, on my Android, anything that is output on my PC soundcard (running Linux).
I've been reading about pulseaudio and I'm able to stream specific things, like mp3 files. But I wanted to let Android get everything that is output to pulseaudio. Like YouTube videos, desktop sound effects, music.
The reason? I hate to switch my headphone.
Does anyone has any idea on this?
I've read that it is possible to enable pulseaudio to stream PC's general audio. What can I use to connect my Android to that?

Well if you are going to use pulse audio on the pc, im pretty sure you would need a pulseaudio app for the phone.
I'm not sure why you want to listen to the audio on your phone. The tiny speaker in the phone is horrible quality compared to the speakers on your laptop.
I want to listen to my PC on my Android with headphones. Not Android's tiny speaker
This would be nice if would be possible; for example it can be used as (sort of) wireless headphones for PC; I will definitely love this option for watching movies; play them on TV via PC, and listen audio via phone, and I don't have to worry about headphone cable (just stuck phone in pocket, and connect headphones in phone).
If someone knows how to make this work, please feel free to reply
P.S. it will be great if it will work over WIFI
I'll bump this in hopes someone has found a solution by now, for Linux and Windows.
Asset UPNP will let you stream a PC's audio output to any dlna client. Its Windows and Mac only at the moment though. I'm looking for something that'll do the same for android. Theres tonnes of DLNA apps out there, but they only stream files, not the complete audio output (ie alerts, streamed audio, phone calls etc).
I'd like this too, ideally i could plug my phone into my amplifier and play music from my pc , save moving everything around.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
im also in need of this.. connect pc and android phone via wifi n stream all audio output (line-out) to android in realtime with no detectable lag.
SoundWire does this. However, there is a noticable slight lag. I'm hoping there's a better solution out there (even if it's over usb).
Edit: Not sure this works on Linux. I use Windows 7
If you want a lagg-free solution, just plug your Headphone-out(pc) to your Mic-in (phone), resistor needed.
Nobody got this idea before ?
You could also just stream your audio from PC with VLC via Wifi...

Plugging into my Mic-in on my phone is not an option, because my headphones are already plugged into the 3.5mm jack. So it has to be over usb or wirelessly.
People want to stream all the audio from their PC to their phone, not just audio from a video. Does VLC do that?
Has anyone found a solution to this?
I found this info doing a quick search on ixquick-dot-com. It sounds like it's a definitive solution.
Quoted from: [superuser-dot-com] /questions/331126/how-can-you-stream-music-from-ubuntu-to-airplay-speakers-on-your-network-with-ub
---------
You can install airbubble on your android, which works as a speaker using apple's AirPlay (DAAP) protocol.
[play.google.com] /store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.airbubble
Pulseaudio can be configured to stream to any AirPlay receiver - check this answer for details on setting that up: [superuser.com] /questions/331126/how-can-you-stream-music-from-ubuntu-to-airplay-speakers-on-your-network-with-ub
With airbubble running, it should show up as a speaker option in the ubuntu sound menu.
---------
I haven't tested it yet, as I haven't reconfigured the comp to use PulseAudio. It may work over 3g AND wifi, just like SoundWire, but instead using a Linux distro rather than Windoze. I plan to test and report soon.
My apologies for the modified urls, the forums won't let me post links yet.
soundwire
i think soundwire can help us in this case
search for it on google play
i have just joined so its not going to allow me to post a link

Hi, my frnd!
U can use "soundwire" android application for this, and believe me it is truly does the job what u said.
I m using this since long and it perfectly streams all audio which your pc generates via wifi to ur android, and u can also use it as a replacement of ur speakers.:good::cyclops:
I am trying to get my device to work with my Ford Sync--which I like (so no haters, please).
When I connected my previous phone (iPhone 4) I could use it through USB. I use a music streaming service (Rdio) and it would be able to transfer the song's data (Track name, album photo) to the car stereo.
When I changed my phone to the Note and connect via USB, it says that the device is an unknown USB device and to disconnect it. However, it charges.
I know I can stream via bluetooth A2DP, but that's not what I want to do (plus the bluetooth stack doesn't sound anywhere as good as the iPhone's for some reason). Not to mention that I can't see song data on the screen.
I have tried connecting the device and setting it as USB mass storage (which is a b!tch, by the way, on a car radio) and all it does it see the device as a hard drive (again, not what I want it to do).
Does anyone know of a way to get the audio stream and control over the USB port?
Much appreciated to all efforts.
I do the same but stream my audio via BT. Will check again in my ford sync tonight to verify

The sync system does require updates from time to time. Its possible you may need one. I got tired of plugging in my phone all the time so I eventually decided to use one of my old phones as basically an mp3 player. It stays in my console connected to USB all the time. I only take it out to add or delete music, update Pandora, etc.
I just tested my 2008 Fusion with Sync. It worked fine with BT.
I had to push the AUX button on the front of the radio to get to BT audio, to allow it to stream to the car radio.
I use A OK Radio app to listen to music.
The sync voice did say something about going to Media Menu to setup streaming, but that was not required.
Ah. Thanks for the responses. What I've been doing is exactly that--leaving my old iPhone as the music device. However, I miss being able to stream albums that don't reside local to the old phone. I'm thinking of rooting my Note just to allow my iPhone to pick up other albums.
Also, I forgot to mention that I have the My Ford Touch system (2011 Explorer) with the Sync interface if that bit of info helps.

Can I play my phone (WT19i) contain songs via Bluetooth? I have connected my phone to the PC over Bluetooth but it doesn't show that Audio streaming available? According to the GSMArean.com, WT19i support A2DP, EDR. Is it CM10 ROM issue or this phone issue? Does anyone successfully stream audio via Bluetooth?
I'm going to purchase a "Bluetooth Music Receiver", to connect it to my Sub-woofer. So my device may not support play audio over the Bluetooth?
Thanks!

It is kind of weird thing I am trying to do but I am sure it is not impossible. Just looking for ways if anybody has already tried before might save my time and afforts.
At work I've PC with internet but without bluetooth, and a Galaxy S3 without data plan! I want to play music (online music streaming sites) on my PC, have that music (from audio out jack on PC) to Galaxy S3 (hope it will go to mic in if I use male to male aux cable?) and then an App that sends that incoming music stream to bluetooth audio output of GS3 and then listen to it on my sony stereo bluetooth headset!
Sounds odd right? The thing is I can not buy & plug in bluetooth dongle to my work PC and I can not afford the data plan as of now.
So looking forward to all ideas!
Thanks.
Hello folks.
I bought this phone 3weeks ago and I can't use it with my kenwood kmm u11 car audio. When I connect my phone via usb to car audio, files are being read but sound is coming from the phone instead of car's speakers. Also I have tried it with some other car audios and it did not worked. My phone has B370 build and I could not find a solution for this situation. Please help me if anyone has a solution.
It can't work as a USB mass storage device as the radio doesn't have the right protocols.
When you connect it to a windows PC, it install drivers. A radio can't do that.
Sound only through BT or 3,5"mm jack.

I have an LG G2 and it works with usb connection. What is the difference? Honor 7 and LG G2 have Android 5.0.2. I can't get the point.

USB works like any other mass storage device. Might be compatible or not. The the device that's accessing the files plays and handles the output.
The car radio could have a protocol to control through USB the android music player. Check if H7's music player is working. There's also a similar protocol for iOS.
Finally, there's only 5 ways of getting audio out from Android, to other than built-in speaker:
1- 3,5" jack audio out (headphones but works with anything)
2- MHL, for compatible devices, but audio is automatically routed
3- HDMI out, audio automatically routed.
4- Bluetooth, audio automatically routed.
5- Wi-Fi cast, audio automatically routed.
You can use USB as an audio output, but you have to fiddle with the OS. And I'm not sure if it's possible with all devices.
@blast4620 some devices have inbuilt Mass Storage mode, but Honor 7 just have MTP protocol and no Mass Storage protocol.
MTP protocol requires some drivers to be installed on the device to which you are connecting your phone, so it can't work on your Kenwood Player.
Whereas Mass Storage mode doesn't require any drivers to be installed, it's just like Plug & Play(A USB Pen-Drive). So, your LG phone must have a Mass Storage mode, but Honor 7 doesn't have it.
I hope this helps.
