Overview
Audio Sharing is a Linux app that lets you share the sound playing on your computer with other devices.
It sends your computer’s audio as a network stream using the RTSP protocol.
This means you can listen to your computer’s sound on many devices, such as smartphones, by using software that supports RTSP streams like VLC.
This app is useful if you want to play your computer audio on devices that normally can’t connect directly to your PC.
For example, some audio accessories need Bluetooth but your desktop might not have a Bluetooth module.
By streaming your audio to your phone, you can then connect the phone to the Bluetooth device and listen to your computer’s sound that way.
Audio Sharing is built with Gnome and GTK technologies, which makes it a good fit for Linux users who want easy and flexible ways to share audio over a network.
However, users should know that the receiving device must have compatible software like VLC to play the audio stream.
Also, because the audio is streamed over the network, it might have some delay or lower quality depending on your connection.
This tool focuses only on Linux and does not support other platforms.
If you use Linux and want to share audio safely and simply with other devices on your network, Audio Sharing can be a helpful solution for your needs.
