How to listen by local ScreamReader? #53

Closed 3bagorion33 closed 3 years ago

3bagorion33 commented 5 years ago

I installed Scream driver and started ScreamReader. Default device is hardware soundcard. I expexted listen sound when I press test button in properites tab of Scream device. But I can not hear anything. When I configure Scream device to unicast to another local PC, I hear test sound.

I have router with OpenWRT. How to configure my system?

Hi @3bagorion33 can you clarify what's your setup? It doesn't make much sense to install both Scream driver and ScreamReader on the same windows machine but maybe you are using a VM ?

Probably because scream driver binds to port 4010

netstat -na 

  UDP    0.0.0.0:4010           *:*

Anyway I can't get netcat to listen on my local machine for troubleshooting

This looks like it's listening to 4010 though. scream driver transmits from source 4010 to destination 4010. Is this required by Windows sockets?

I would like to try scream using localhost so I can try with scream receiver/jack(?) pulseaudio in Cygwin. Use cases would include sound with X or unix/Cygwin ports. I'm looking for an open source way to route windows sound to Airplay/Chromecast which I can do with a remote forked-daapd server

Maybe there's another free Windows driver that already does this?
