<div dir="ltr">Can you plese tell more about the use case? I guess it's not about having realtime sound effect from games or user interfaces, but more like playing music from Laptop to Android?<div><br></div><div>If that's the case, I have such a setup running. I start a null-sink where any application can send its audio to, then use darkice to grab it from null-sinks monitor and send it to an icecast running on localhost. Any other player (an MPD server, an Android with TuneIn App or anything else) can grab it from there and play it. I even use this to listen to my own musik on my smartphone while I am in my Work WiFi. For that I stream AAC+ codec for extra low bandwidth.</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm running a laptop und openSUSE 13.1. Due to the fact that the max. sound<br>
volume is quite low (and I didnt find a way to increade the max. volume), the<br>
idea came up to stream the sound output to the network.<br>
On the receiver side, an old Android phone should pick up the stream and<br>
connect the wired output to a home stereo.<br>
<br>
So far so good, I tried the setup in<br>
<a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Network/#index2h3" target="_blank">http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Network/#index2h3</a><br>
and on the receiver side I tried Bubble PnP and VLC HD remote. Unfortunately,<br>
both could not connect.<br>
<br>
Questions:<br>
- do I need aditional software to stream the sound output on the SUSE machine?<br>
- which port is used by Pulseaudio by default to stream?<br>
- Anything else I may have forgotten?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance, and have a peaceful xmas!<br>
