Win11 Tuneblade stopped working

[Eivind Nag]

Hi,

Have been using TB for quite a while here now without a single hickup. Hooked up a stereo pair of HomePods. But after the latest win11 update tuneblade is stuck at "Searching for Airplay receivers".

Any help or hint would be appreciated.

I noticed it stopped working in the last week or two for me. I can connect to speakers, but streaming simply...doesn't work. I'm trying to roll back some updates to see if I can isolate the one that caused the problem.

I have tried several things to get TuneBlade to function again, but with no luck, including VB Cable and the various virtual loopback settings. If this forum's relative silence and the lack of any response from the developers of TuneBlade are any indication, it's a dead product, no longer under development. Unless you're on an older version of Windows, you'll likely not have it work for you.

I've been using TuneBlade to manage output to my Sonos speakers where Sonos is not an option. If you're in a similar boat, check out Stream What You Hear Rust, even if the original SWYH wasn't of any use to you:

The UI isn't as pretty as TuneBlade's was, and there's some more audio latency than I noticed with TuneBlade, but it works. For Sonos, set FMT to Wav. Sorry folks, I will miss TuneBlade. It was an ideal product, but such is the ever-changing nature of software. Something on one end always changes, requiring updates elsewhere or the Rube Goldburg Frankenstein of it all just fails to function.
