How to Use NullWire & Configure Audio

Follow these 4 simple steps to route your Windows audio to your phone with zero hassle.

Step 1

Configure Windows Sound Output

Click the Sound icon on your Windows taskbar (bottom right) and select your active playback device (e.g. Realtek Speakers, Headphones, or Virtual Audio Cable).

Step 2

Connect on Wi-Fi or USB Tethering

Ensure your PC and Android phone are on the same Wi-Fi network (5GHz Wi-Fi is recommended for sub-3ms speed).

Step 3

Launch & Start Streaming

Open NullWire on Windows. Select your audio device from the dropdown, click your discovered Android phone in the list, and click "Start Streaming".
