Stream desktop audio (ices)

Hi,
I am trying to stream the desktop sounds (i.e. the same sound that is outputted through my speakers) from my laptop to my Squeezebox. I just want a simple solution to output e.g. Grooveshark on my stereo. It seems that icecast + ices2 should be able to do this, no?
However, I am not able to generate a stream containing any sound.
This is the input section of my ices configuration is:
<input>
<module>oss</module>
<param name="rate">44100</param>
<param name="channels">2</param>
<param name="device">/dev/dsp</param>


<param name="metadata">1</param>
<param name="metadatafilename">test</param>
</input>
I suspect that I should be using another device or something like that . . . Basically, I need to know what device I need to point at to stream the desktop sounds. I have also tried to use the alsa module without luck, though.
I know a much more sophisticated system could be made using PulseAudio, but if I could make this simple setup work, it would be sufficient.
I would appreciate any input.

There were rumors about a year ago that it would be added so I just wanted to check.

Streaming "desktop" audio to an icecast server

I want to stream whatever I can hear on my machine to an icecast server. How can I do this?

What audio system do you use? (ALSA,, OSS, PulseAudio, JACK, etc.)
With PulseAudio:
- Run paman (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9045), find and select the 'sink' you are sending audio to, click 'Properties' (in the lower-right corner) and select/copy the 'Monitor Source' name.
- To get at the audio, run:
parec -d MONITOR-SOURCE-NAME --raw |COMMAND-THAT-STREAMS-STDIN-TO-ICECAST
I think you'll have to use ices for this, not darkice. The default output format of parec is 44100 Hz stereo, native-endian signed 16-bit; use 'parec --help' for documentation (the man page seems to be out-of-date).
EDIT: The package you need for ices is ices2 (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24156).

Streaming desktop sound!?

This is most likely a problem on my end, but I'm a little stumped as to how I can stream my desktop sound.
When I try to change the audio device option in Flash Media Live Encoder to something that will stream my desktop audio, I only have the microphone (sigmatel high definition audio) option. I have a feeling i should have something like stereo mix or some kind of playback device.
In my audio devices on my computer I have Speakers/Headphones (SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC) and it's working.
My soundcard drivers are updated. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling.. disabling and reenabling.
I downloaded Virtual Audio Cable and tried to use the audio repeater, but this also doesn't have a playback device for me to select in 'Wave In'. Wave out has it though.
Am I doing something wrong? Do you know of any drivers that I can download that will let me stream my desktop audio?
Any help is appreciated.

I played my audio from another PC (Windows Media Player) and connect via AUDIO OUT to AUDIO IN of Encoder PC. That worked fine for me.

How can I stream the audio only to my Apple TV while watching the video on my iPad?

Hi everybody!
My question might sound a little confusing to some of you, but anyway: When I watch a video on my iPad (youtube app, facebook, etc.) I would like to watch the video on my iPad and stream the audio to my atv, which is connected to my hifi. Currently, every time I hit the airplay button both video AND audio will be streamed.
Many people complain about only streaming audio, but that's precisely what I am looking for! I don't want to turn on my TV for every silly 0:30 min youtube video. I would love to find something like this:
Cheers for any help!

you can't rely on airplay mirror some apps support the old in app airtune audio only option if the video app in question does you can do it from the apps settings somehow
if not then you need a airport express which does pretty much what airplay mirror on the Apple TV does but it's a audio only

I have an Apple TV and an Airport Express, can I use these to stream all audio from either my iPhone or my MacBook Pro, including Pandora?

I have purchased an Apple TV and an Airport Express as a gift for a loved one and was under the impression that these two would not only allow for movies, videos etc would be streamed to the TV from my MacBook Pro, but also set up Airport Express with speakers and stream music from my laptop or iPhone. Is there a way for all music, including Pandora, to be streamed through the Airport Express? I can only figure out how it works with iTunes, not Pandora.
Thanks for the help!!!

You might want to take a look at Airfoil for Mac to be able to stream any audio source on your Mac.

ITunes 11 no longer allowing to stream video audio to an Airport?

I just istalled iTunes 11 and discovered that when watching videos, I am no longer able to stream the audio to an AirportExpress connected to a DAC. Very annoyingly, the new iTunes 11 user interface killed the AirportExpress entries from the output menu when wathing videos (it only lets you stream to an Apple TV), but when listening to music, all AirportExpress options are still available. Why can't I select where I want to stream my video to and - separately - where I want to stream the audio to? This is very disappointing, Apple: you've eliminated a key feature of a well-functioning Apple ecosystem at home.

I am so beyond fed up with this and with Apple. THANK GOD I just switched to a Galaxy S3. The whole reason I did it is because iOS 6 crossed the line, especially with the removal of the native Google apps, only to replace Maps with the biggest joke of a maps app I have ever seen in my life. Within 5 minutes of turning on my new Android phone, literally every single feature, down to the most minor detail, was better than iPhone. Every iPhone user that has checked out my new phone says the same thing. I cannot find ONE thing that is better on the iPhone. Not ONE thing.
Before activating my new awesome phone, I wanted to sync my busted old piece of junk iPhone with Google contacts so I can seamlessly transfer them to the new phone, and lo & behold, I encounter even more of Apple's BS with regard to Google.
Apple, I can promise you this... by taking this stance against Google & making things SO much harder for your users, you are driving them away from Apple in DROVES, and straight into Googles open arms. Prepare to circle the drain. Switching to Android is the best decision I've made all year. I LOVE MY NEW PHONE!

AirPort Express as a Wireless Adapter For Xbox 360 and to stream PC audio?

Ok, so I am wondering if I can do this config with an AirPort express. I want to connect the AirPort to my existing WiFi, and be able to plug in an Ethernet cable connected to an Xbox 360 to get Xbox Live, as well as stream audio from my PC. Is this possible to do at once? Also, is it possible to stream PC audio, not just iTunes music? Thanks for your time.

Hello podalex,
Just an FYI for you with regard to the Airport Express:
It is always best to check with the software manufacturer FIRST. They will tell you if they have tested the product and the version, as well as whether or not it will work with Windows 7.
Check out the Windows 7 Compatibility site: (There you will find out about hardware and software compatibility.)
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/en-us/default.aspx
There is a pulldown from which you can choose "hardware" and "software".
There are also some great articles, instructional videos and such to help with your Windows 7 at our Springboard site:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/default.aspx
In any event a lot of the times, Vista drivers will work in lieu of Windows 7 drivers, however, it's not 100%!
As stated previously, it's best to have the Windows 7 certified drivers installed.
Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum located here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/w7itpro/ . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. You may want to check the threads available there for additional assitance and support.

Can I record a live streaming concert (audio

Is there a way to record a live streaming concert (audio & video) with Quicktime on my iMac?

Sure. The built-in iSight camera of all Intel iMacs supports both video and audio. The following link shows how to use Quicktime to record video and audio with your iSight:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4024
If you wish to append that video with examples on the computer, SnapZ Pro is a great tool for screen capture:
http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/
Note, SnapZ Pro is probably the easiest to record an existing webinar. Note, when recording any webinar, you should be licensed to record the said video, or allowed to by the professor/school offering it for the use of your own instruction.

How can I stream other audio e.g. radio through my Apple TV

Hi,
I have a iMac (in den) and an Apple TV (in lounge connected to hifi). I can of course stream my iTune slibrary through my apple TV and in to my hifi in the living room, but how can I stream other audio (e.g. a radio station) I am listening to on my iMac but want to listen to in my living room?
Any ideas?

Hi, that did work, but I can't though seem to play them both at the same time. I can stream the audio eg radio station through my Apple TV, but it cuts out my iMac speakers so eitehr one or the other.
Any way to do both same time?
Cheers, and thanks

Adobe desktop audio question. Please help.

I have been having issues all day recording audio into a project with a usb mic. After watching tutorials, I noticed an issue. In every video when the person go's to audio hardware preferences they have "Premier pro WDM sound" selected in the Adobe desktop audio menu. For whatever reason I don't have the WDM sound option in my window. (Please see pictures below) Is there a way to get that option? Please help.The first piccture is from a video. The second picture is my computer. I am using a macbook. Thanks

'Premiere Pro WDM' will only appear on Windows as it is referring to 'Windows Driver Model'. This will not show up on you're Mac. It might prove easier using other software for recording (Audition for example) as it's a bit easier to process the audio afterwards, it has a larger waveform preview and it's a bit easier to chop bits out etc.

I want to stream all audio to my stereo via AirPort. Right now audio only streams with iTunes, not when I'm online (YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify). What must I do? Thanks! 2011 macbook pro 10.6.8

Thanks, Bob. I've seen this suggested before. However, I'm at a friend's place (cat-sitting). He owns an older MacBook (almost positive) and he streams audio without Airfoil. All he uses is AirPort Express. He told me to simply click alt-option and the volume icon and a menu drops down, and I select "AirPort Express". But it never appears. All the menu offers is this:
"AirPort Express" isn't an option.
Why is that? Is there something fundamental I'm not doing?
