Airfoil now supports sending audio via AirPlay, Bluetooth, and Cast, or any combination of the three. If you have an Apple TV attached to your television in the living room, a Chromecast Audio attached to your stereo in the bedroom, and a Bluetooth speaker in the office, Airfoil will send audio from your Mac to all of these devices. Airfoil can send the same audio to multiple Cast devices, so if you’ve got more than one Chromecast, you can play audio throughout your house in sync. Check your hardware, because you might have a Cast receiver and not even realize it! Can I send to multiple Cast devices at once? This includes televisions made by Sony and Vizio, as well as speakers from LG, Grace, Bang and Olufsen, and more. While the Chromecast devices made by Google are the most well-known Cast devices, there are hundreds of others out there. A “Google Cast” device is simply a piece of hardware which can receive audio via the Cast protocol. Like AirPlay, third-party hardware manufacturers can incorporate Cast technology into their devices. It’s essentially their version of Apple’s “AirPlay” protocol. “Cast” is the official name for Google’s streaming protocol. We’ll be getting the Ultra as soon as possible, however, and we’re confident it too will be supported. Because it isn’t yet available, we haven’t tested with it. The Chromecast Ultra is not yet released, and thus doesn’t fit the answer above. Airfoil works great with all of this Chromecast hardware!Īh, we can’t fool you, dear questioner. That includes both of the current puck-shaped models ( Chromecast Audio and Chromecast), as well as the original stick-shaped model released back in 2014. We’ve successfully tested with every Chromecast device Google has released thus far. Whatever you’re playing on your Mac can be streamed via Airfoil. That includes music apps like Spotify and iTunes, web-based services like Pandora, and even all System Audio at once. Airfoil can stream any audio from your Mac out to remote speakers. Stream audio from any app on your Mac, or all of your System Audio at onceĪs veteran users can no doubt guess, this question is coming from folks new to Airfoil. We’ve also heard a few questions repeatedly, so I thought I’d answer them here. Since then, we’ve been gratified to hear from many users thrilled with the new functionality.
This free update adds support for Google Chromecast, and other Google Cast devices, to Airfoil. On Friday, we released version 5.5 of our home audio streamer Airfoil for Mac. Posted By Paul Kafasis on November 1st, 2016
