The default streaming mode is ‘Normal Streaming mode’ which streams with a latency of 2 seconds. Streaming Modes lets you make the right balance between reliability in your wireless network and audio streaming latency. What is the use of ‘Streaming Modes' feature in TuneBlade? 'Streaming Modes' feature is incompatible with ShairPort, XBMC and other AirPlay audio receiving software applications except TuneAero.ġ. Shairport (AirPi, Volumio), XBMC for Raspberry PI.Kodi/XBMC, Shairport, Airfoil Speakers, Reflector and AirServer for Mac.TuneAero, ShairPort4w and Kodi/XBMC for Windows PCs.Some compatible AirPlay audio receiving software: Some popular apps for receiving AirPlay audio:ģ. TuneBlade is compatible with the AirPlay audio standard (AirTunes), so any app with AirPlay audio receiving capabilities should be able to receive audio from TuneBlade. Can TuneBlade stream audio to an Android/iOS device? AirPlay enabled Audio Video receivers (AVRs) from Denon, Harman Kardon, Yamaha, Pioneer, Marantz, Onkyo, Sony etc.Ģ.AirPlay enabled speakers such as B&W Zeppelin Air, Klipsch G-17 Air, Sony SA-NS500, Bose SoundLink® Air Digital Music System, Pioneer XW-SMA4-K and many others.Make sure 'Enable Remote Control' setting is set to enabled in preferences, under the 'Remote Control' tab.ġ. 'Remote for TuneBlade' (iOS App) cannot find TuneBlade on the network. My music application is playing audio, and TuneBlade is connected (with or without 'Connection Standby') to my AirPlay receiver but I hear no sound.Ĭapturing audio via the 'Virtual Device Loopback' method solves most of such capturing issues.Ħ. If using an additional 3rd party firewall on your PC, make sure that TuneBlade.exe is allowed to receive network connections.ĥ. It shows connecting, and then it disconnects. TuneBlade is unable to connect to the AirPlay receiver. The settings are located under 'AirPlay Streaming' tab of peferences.Ĥ. Version 1.1.2.0 and above allows you to disable this feature or change the time limit to standby. When any audio is detected, TuneBlade will auto-connect with the receiver and start streaming again. This auto-disconnected state is the 'Standby' state. When there is no audio being played for 20 seconds, the connection with the AirPlay receiver is closed to avoid unnecessary network activity. The 'Standby' / 'Connection Standby' status does NOT refer to the power state of the AirPlay receiver. Why is TuneBlade showing status as Standby? I see the status of my speaker as 'Standby' / 'Connection Standby' on TuneBlade’s interface, but my speaker is fully powered up. Capturing audio via the 'Virtual Device Loopback' method solves this issue.ģ. Since in the default capturing mode (Direct Loopback), TuneBlade is capturing the audio of the default endpoint, the same audio is transmitted to the AirPlay receiver. Sound quality is good but appears to have less bass or treble.Ĭertain sound drivers will cut-off some frequencies to optimize the audio for the laptop's speakers. Configure TuneBlade to capture audio using "Virtual Capture Mode" to overcome this issue.Ģ. (This is due to Windows Potected User Mode Audio). The captured sound quality is terrible when protected content such as a DRM protected file is being played, or when certain applications such as Windows 8 XBOX Music are running. If you are concerned about system sounds getting streamed, you can select a sound scheme in Windows sound settings with no sounds. Can I stream from one selected application only, instead of system-wide? As long as network conditions are adequate, stream to as many receivers as you desire.ĥ. TuneBlade imposes no limit on the number of simultaneous connections. How many AirPlay receivers can I stream to, simultaneously? (You can disable auto-mute/un-mute through TuneBlade preferences, but the local PC speakers will be out of sync with AirPlay audio, hence this isn’t recommended.)Ĥ. This behavior of TuneBlade is just like how AirPlay works on iOS and OS X. When an AirPlay receiver is selected, TuneBlade mutes the PC speakers when no AirPlay receiver is selected, it unmutes the PC speakers. Can I listen to audio on my PC speakers while streaming to an AirPlay receiver? Yes, TuneBlade streams system wide, including any audio from Windows Store apps on Windows 8 Pro.ģ. Can TuneBlade stream audio from Windows Store apps (Windows 8), not just desktop applications? No, TuneBlade is for streaming audio only with CD quality and multi-device synchronized streaming capabilities.Ģ. Can TuneBlade stream videos and images to an Apple TV?
