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?
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

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:
Hello everybody,
I'm searching for following solution. During office day my Android (SG2) is bound to USB and so connected to workstation for the whole day. I'm also using a headset bound to workstation also connected by USB for VoIP and Music (of coz).
Question: To avoid a second headset (for the phone), is there a solution, which could bind the workstation connected headset virtually to the attached Android device as local headset. So whenever a call comes in on the phone, I would use the desktop headset for the call?
Thank you
Dejan

Moving to Q&A
I purchased an ASUS USB-BT21 that allows me to do this on my Windows 7 PC. It uses the Broadcom 2046 chip (use to be WIDCOMM I believe) and the software that comes with it (or download from their site) allows me to pair it with my SGS and answer calls on my PC.
I think any Bluetooth 2.1+EDR adapter should allow you to do this, but I dont know that for sure.
Software Link: http://www.broadcom.com/support/bluetooth/update.php
I use the Plantronics Voyager Pro UC2 headset because it pairs with my computer and phone simultaneously. It's also capable of some interesting "presence" stuff when it connects to either device and if you're on the phone or not.
Hello all,
thank you for the input, it seems more fisible to enable BT on PC as merging any USB to BT gateway over PC to Android.

Dejan
Is there a way to use the pc audio output (microphone, speakers) for the smartphone incoming calls?
With the bluetooth software on my windows netbook you can use the computer as a set of bluetooth speakers. You can simply connect to the computer like you would with say bluetooth headphones. However the microphone does not work, so you will still have to use the microphone of your mobile phone. Maybe you can look at the options on the bluetooth software on your computer? To the left of the time there should be a bluetooth icon (if your computer actually has it).

Got it.. i'll try
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.
I tried searching throughout the internet no answer. Is there any way to stream Bluetooth audio to Windows 10? It is paired, but can't get audio to stream.
Yes there is but not straight forward.
This protocol is used by softwares so you could stream audio.
One of the examples is Bluesoleil
There are other softwares for each bluetooth component in the machine.
Then only phone would recognize that the receiving end had the capability to stream audio.
