Quick start

The most direct setup is a PC running Minnty Sound Server with one or more Android devices listening on the same network.

Before you begin

Install Minnty Sound on the Android device you want to listen on.
Install Minnty Sound Server on a supported Windows or Linux PC. See instructions here.
Connect every device to the same Wi-Fi, wired network, VPN, or USB tethering connection.

You can find more about the PC server on GitHub. The server is open source.

Start a PC stream

Open Minnty Sound Server on the PC.
Play some audio on the PC.
In the server's local browser interface, choose the active audio output.
Select Start Stream.

The Minnty Sound Server control interface.

Connect the Android app

Open Minnty Sound on Android.
Your server should appear in the server list automatically.
Select it, then press Connect.
If discovery is unavailable, add the PC's local IP address manually using the Add server button.

Playback

Once the client is connected to a server, press the Play button. You should hear the streamed audio.
If you don't hear anything, make sure the server is streaming audio (see above).
Click Show playback controls to access Play, Pause and Skip buttons, as well as volume controls. If supported, you'll also see a seekbar.
The volume controls on the client can control server volume, if the option is enabled in the server settings.

For a first test, use the Balanced playback mode. Move to Responsive for lower delay or Stable when your network needs more headroom. See the Android settings guide.
