# Desktop Audio Streamer
This tool captures the audio from your desktop (or microphone) and streams it to a ChromeCast Audio device.
You can download an installer from the [releases](https://github.com/SamDel/ChromeCast-Desktop-Audio-Streamer/releases).
After running setup.exe you can run the installed program from `C:\Program Files (x86)\Desktop Audio Streamer\Desktop Audio Streamer\ChromeCast.Desktop.AudioStreamer.exe`.
- On the first run Windows will ask you to configure the firewall and this must be enabled for your home-network type (public or private) for audio to play.
- If the application doesn't find your devices please read [troubleshooting](https://github.com/SamDel/ChromeCast-Desktop-Audio-Streamer/wiki#troubleshooting).
- This tool can't be used to synchronize video on your desktop with audio on your devices. There's always a lag because of audio buffers on the devices and in the application.
```
Not all home setup are stable on the default device buffer settings.
Please set it to a setting where your speakers produce the appropriate delay:
- When streaming in wav 32 bit format: < 2 seconds
- When streaming in wav format: < 5 seconds
- When streaming in mp3 320 format: < 10 seconds
- When streaming in mp3 128 format: > 20 seconds
Post a message in discussions if you still have a problem.
```
Please read the [wiki](https://github.com/SamDel/ChromeCast-Desktop-Audio-Streamer/wiki) page for further information, and the [developers](https://github.com/SamDel/ChromeCast-Desktop-Audio-Streamer/wiki/Developers) page to get it to work in Visual Studio.
