Extremely helpful, works with only a couple miliseconds of delay at 1G speed! Currently setting up a dual PC streaming setup, and while moving all my OBS assets to the new PC, I was trying to figure out how to hear my Alerts, TTS, Redeems, ETC on my gaming PC (Especially if I'm in VR). This COMPLETELY takes care of the issue, no $500 mixer needed, no XLR, just as simple as a download. ------- HOPE THIS HELPS OTHER STREAMERS!!!!
What a LIFESAVER. I just installed everything and it works PERFECTLY Fine. I use my PC as the player and Mac as the server since I game competitively. If you are looking for a solution, this has helped me and I highly recommend it. Now I don't need to worry about cables lolz.
Thanks for making this video. I was having issues with team members hearing crackling when using my Bluetooth headset. So, this can keep my wired without having to change computers every time. Super helpful!
NICE GUIDE! I'm spend so many time to find solution. I'm streaming sound over ethernet (LAN) to lower latency and my pc and macbook can be on two different ISP.
Thank you for the video. My question is, after I downloaded the app on both devices (iMac as server & Macbook as player), the server setting only have the options for mic, and not speaker? How to switch it up? Thank you!
It is a little different on MacOS since the security is very strict. By default, apps dont have access to the audio that the computer hears. There is a way to get around this though and you can check out this website and it will tell you what to install to capture your speaker audio: docs.audiorelay.net/instructions/macos I hope this works!
Why does it say "No server found", I placed the server address to my player, I connected them with the same wifi, and it still didn't work, I tried reconnecting the wifi but still didn't work, pls help.
So what i have been trying to do is use my mic one one laptop, and have another be my main one that i do everything on. The mic wont work on the main one. Is there a way i can do that?
So on the player, how can I select my headset if it is already connected to the other device? If i connect it to the other one, then I can't hear the other device
This software is open source and completely safe there really is nothing to worry about. And what do you mean by a solution for a microsoft windows device? Do you mean something from the microsoft store?
i work from home. So with this software I can use my laptop for work to hear zoom call meetings and also hear the gaming audio from my desktop at the same time? ( I use a wireless corsair HS80 max)
If both computers say they are connected but you cant hear anything then the only thing I can think of is that the wrong audio sources are chosen. Did you try every audio source that was there?
I'm trying to use Audio Relay between my laptop and PC like in this video, but i'd like to send my microphone input from PC to laptop while at the same time receive Laptop audio output to my PC. Headset connected to PC only. Basically, if I'm on a Teams call on my laptop, i'd like to hear and speak through the headset connected to my PC. Can't seem to figure out how to do this. Any thoughts?
on pc in the server section you would select the microphone and in the player section you would select the laptop audio on the laptop in the server section you select the laptop speakers and in the player you select the pc’s mic I think that would work
@@MadhuKraft In the laptop player section, I can only choose of 2 modes from: Mic (use your phone's mic) or Playback (listen to another device). Even though it says use your phone's mic, is it really just referring to the other device connected in audio relay perhaps?
Ok yeah it's working the way I want now. So it just says "phone's mic" but really its just referring to whatever is the other device you're connected to. Thanks!
i am using discord on one pc and gaming on the other, i want the audio from the discord on my second pc to go to my main headset on my first pc that im gaming on, is this possible?
could u help me with something... if i have one laptop and one pc.. but i wanna use the same mic and headphones for both.. is this also possible? Lets just say im in 2 different calls, one on the pc and one on the laptop.. is it possible to connect both headphones and mic as i can talk and hear the audio from both at the same time?
you can use the player and server option at the same time. I’ll explain it a little more. On one computer go to the server settings and select its mic as an audio device and on the other computer, also go to the server tab and u select the speakers as the audio device. Then go to the player tab on both computers and connect to each others servers. The same computer that shares its mic will play the other computers audio on its speakers. It sounds a little complicated but it is simple. I just don’t know how to explain it that well
i guess you could change the output on your device to something that isn’t playing any audio. That could probably work but I never really tested that out. I don’t have speakers for my computer so yeah
I have one problem though .. that is If play in my laptop(server) it's sound in it's speaker and in my headphones(main pc-Player) both in the same time.
on your laptop, try changing your output to another output device(in computer settings not in audio relay). or you could connect earphones to the laptop and change the output in audio relay to those earphones
is it possible to connect more than 1 server? I mean I want to have more than 1 computer as an audio source (server) and connect them to one computer as a player.
i dont think there is currently a way to have connections to multiple servers from one player. the creator of the app would have to implement that feature. you might be able to post that as a feature request on the forum community.audiorelay.net but idk how often the creator checks that
@@MadhuKraft Thanks! yup I've already tried it. there is no way to have multiple servers. ugh. I guess i'll just keep on looking for that kind of setup.
on computer one you could set the server to share mic and on computer two you could set the server to share computer audio but idk if there is a way to share both computer audio and mic audio from the same computer
i was thinking maybe opening two instances of the application but that wouldn’t work because if you’re trying to connect to the server from the player you only connect to one audio source
But will it work like that? I have 2 pc, 1 new for gaming and other old still pretty good but not soo powerfull, so can I use it like this discord one old pc and game on new pc, so that my new pc won't loose perfromance? WHat am asking is will it also transfer microphon etc.?
yes it should be able to stream the microphone but you could honestly just use discord on the gaming pc too. It shouldn’t affect performance that much.
I don’t know how I didn’t see this but I got a notification now cus of your newest reply but yes you can share mic input from the server and have the client use that mic input as an input source. In other words, it will be like the mic is connected to the client.
no you can use any output for this. wired headphones, bluetooth headphones, anything that you connect to the Player computer should work. Make sure the app recognizes the output. If it doesn’t, make sure you are in the “Player” section of the app and not the Server section. then click the refresh button next to the output selection. Then it should recognize your headphones or speakers that you are trying to use.
and are you talking about the installer? installer files are always really small. They don’t contain the program so thats why the size might be small. The installer grabs the files from the internet and installs it to your pc.
@@MadhuKraft Yes, and they were already selected by default, I got to fix it though, but I forgot to remove my comment, oddly enough, I had to completely disable the firewall on the player machine to fix it
you completely disabled it? i think you can just add an exception in the firewall to allow the audiorelay application or the port that audiorelay runs on
@@MadhuKraft i dont understand becasue i dont want my audio to come out my sperkers but thats the only option there is no headset option becasue its not pluged in becasue i cant have 1 headset pluged in to 2 pcs?
so you first have to identify which computer will be the server and which will be the player. plug in your headphones to the player and on the server you select the speakers as the audio output in the server section of audiorelay. then you plug in your headphones to the player. in audiorelay make sure you have selected the player section and connect to the server computer which doesnt have headphones connected to it. if you dont see your speakers as the audio output on the server, click the refresh button
there’s only two possible causes, your server computer or your wifi. the program is honestly great and i don’t think there is an issue with the program itself but i might be wrong. if you have another computer available try testing out audiorelay and you’ll know for sure if it’s a problem with audiorelay or not
hi, my laptop is very old and it doesn't work and if I try to download the 32 bit one my antivirus program says it's a virus in that file. can I download like, another program to do this? it works on my computer btw. pls @MadhuKraft help me if you can
I’m pretty sure that this isn’t a virus, try to upload the file to virustotal.com and see if it’s safe. what antivirus do you have btw? It might think its a virus because it shares your computer audio but I don’t know for sure.
If you guys need help with any of this please comment down below and I will try to respond as quickly as possible.

You’re welcome! Glad it worked
This worked for me, THANK YOU
Very Helpful Thanks man...
audio relay cannot route blackhole output to the inbuilt microphone of the phone so one cannot make a phone call using a usbc earpods connected to mac
Thank you, excelent explanation!

can we connect one mic to multiple pc with this
im pretty sure it would work yeah
thank you so much
i want to use one headphone on two PCs, that's what i need
So what i have been trying to do is use my mic one one laptop, and have another be my main one that i do everything on. The mic wont work on the main one. Is there a way i can do that?
What do i do when I try and connect and it loads and just goes back to the same page I was on without connecting
So on the player, how can I select my headset if it is already connected to the other device? If i connect it to the other one, then I can't hear the other device
you have to connect your headset to the player. if you want to connect the headset to the other computer, then make that computer the player
@@MadhuKraft okay thank you
thank you works in 2023
thank u very much u r awesome
Is there a solution for microsoft windows device as i dont want to use any random software
This software is open source and completely safe there really is nothing to worry about. And what do you mean by a solution for a microsoft windows device? Do you mean something from the microsoft store?
Will mic work from player to server ?
Need internet to connect??
Hi, does this add delay for the Player itself? As in will the players audio also have increased delay or is it primarily the server that has delay
i work from home. So with this software I can use my laptop for work to hear zoom call meetings and also hear the gaming audio from my desktop at the same time? ( I use a wireless corsair HS80 max)
yes that should work
Thank you!@@MadhuKraft
is it also possible to play audio on the player at the same time as the server?
yes it should play on both devices
can we connect multiple server to one player
i dont think so. you could request this feature in the audiorelay.net faq
I have no server found😢
are both devices on the same wifi network? and did you select the right audio source for the server?
is this appliction still a thing? I have connected both my PCs, but it simply doesn't work at all
If both computers say they are connected but you cant hear anything then the only thing I can think of is that the wrong audio sources are chosen. Did you try every audio source that was there?
@@MadhuKraft yes, I did. Still didn't work. I guess I'll just have to accept it
How come when i put my laptop as my server I only hear myself and not what it is playing? Any fixes?
make sure you have selected the right input on the server computer. what do you have selected on your server?

yes it should be able to stream the microphone but you could honestly just use discord on the gaming pc too. It shouldn’t affect performance that much.
how do i use discord on the other device which is the server?
you would connect your mic to the server and use discord normally
do I need to be on the same wifi?
yes
finally 1 simple software.
Is there a way for it to automatically connect whenever you start up the pcs?
on windows if you go to the audio relay app and click settings at the left menu bar, you can turn on the feature to start whenever ur pc starts up
@@MadhuKraftThank you for the tip but I have put it on. What I want is for it to connect to the server automatically instead of manually doing it
i can only choose to stream the microphone?
u can stream either the mic or the speakers
can do this for mobile ?
only on android phones
so if i js wanna use my second laptop js for music and game on my main at the same time i make my laptop the one sending audio?
If u will be connecting ur headphones to your main computer then yes. Use your second laptop as the server
@@MadhuKraft thanks for the fast reply!
no problem!
Can this send the mic input from server to input at client? Or only input to output?
