AudioRelay, developed by Asapha Halifa, is a lightweight network-audio utility designed to forward every sound produced on a Windows computer to one or several Android phones or tablets in real time. Occupying the streaming-media category, the program installs a small driver that captures system-wide audio—music, game effects, voice chat, notifications—and compresses it into a low-latency stream accessible through the companion Android client. Typical use cases include turning a mobile device into a wireless speaker for movies when built-in laptop drivers are weak, extending desktop audio to another room without extra hardware, monitoring DAW output on reference earbuds connected to a phone, or allowing multiple listeners to hear the same source during presentations. Version 0.27.5, the second public release, tightens buffer handling and adds automatic device-discovery so receivers appear instantly on the local subnet without manual IP entry; the earlier 0.26 branch is still offered for users requiring legacy Opus codecs. Both editions support configurable bit-rates from 32 kbps to 320 kbps, channel selection, and UDP/TCP failover, while the Android side provides its own equalizer and persistent notification controls. The Windows service runs quietly in the background, exposes a minimal tray interface, and consumes less than 20 MB RAM when idle. AudioRelay is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
