Turn iPhone / iPod Touch into a Wireless HiFi Stereo Headphone

Monday, May 11th, 2009

If you are staying in a big family, then you would have definitely faced this problem. You want to listen to music or watch a movie on your PC / laptop. But you also want that nobody in your family should be disturbed. What do you do then?

I have purchased a Wireless Headphone. But it is costly.

I have found another way that can be a cheaper option, if you already have iPhone or iPod Touch.

AudioIn - WiFi wireless headphone for iPhone/iPod Touch

Turn iPod Touch or iPhone to Wireless Headphone

Turn iPod Touch or iPhone to Wireless Headphone

AudioIn can turn your iPhone / iPod Touch into a wireless HiFi stereo headphone.

AudioIn comes with free AudioServer with which you can transmit the non-DRM audio output from any application running on Windows Vista (i.e. Windows Media Player, Media Center, and iTunes etc.) wirelessly to iPhone/iPod Touch. This way you can be away from your PC / laptop but can still listen to your music on your iPhone/iPod

The AudioServer application captures the audio output from any running applications and transmits that captured audio wirelessly to AudioIn on your iPhone/iPod Touch. AudioServer application should be running on your iPod Touch or iPhone.

Requirements for AudioIn

  1. iPhone or iPod Touch with firmware version 2.2.1.
  2. iPhone 3G has to switch to WiFi mode.
  3. Any PC or laptop running Vista (all version).
  4. iPhone/iPod Touch and the the AudioReceiver PC must be on the same subnet.
  5. The AudioServer application must be downloaded and installed on your PC.

They are providing a free version of software that can be downloaded. Download and try it, if you like it then go for full version by purchasing it. For more details, Click here

I faced problems setting up AudioIn because my laptop doesn't have Stereo Mix under Recording option. If you face the same problem, then check these below two posts:

Use Virtual Audio Cable (VAC) to solve missing stereo-mix problem

Monday, June 16th, 2008

To know the reason behind writing this post, i would suggest you first read this post No “Stereo Mix”recording option - Here are Few Solutions. Yes, now a days most of the laptops doesn't have Stereo Mix/Wave Out in Recording option under Volume. In the above post, I have mentioned few solutions to get stereo mix working. But i myself was not able to get stereo-mix:( because, i have Toshiba Satellite A-105 S8424 Notebook and there seems no solution for Toshiba(atleast using Google search).

When i was going through Toshiba laptop problems related forum. One guy suggested that you better get Virtual Audio Cable (VAC) software to solve the problem. This software is developed by a Russian guy Eugene Muzychenko

Virtual Audio Cable
This Image is not the snapshot of VAC. I have put this because, it demonstrates Virtual Audio Cables

Right now, I have stereo mix recording but not real, you can say virtual because, i am using the above mentioned software :)
