apply latency to local audio output

[bren...@gmail.com]

I want to use Tuneblade to play audio from my Windows 10 machine to the connected stereo amp and also to various airplay remote speakers.

I understand that by default, the local audio output is muted when airplay is engaged, because otherwise it would be out of sync with the airplay speakers.

My question is: Why can't we have a mode that applies the same latency to the local output as it does to the airplay speakers?  I don't care about long latency but I would really like to be able to play to local output and airplay at the same time.

This seems like it should be possible.  Is there some reason why it fundamentally is not?  If not, is there a chance this will be added to future versions?

Thanks

Great suggestion.  Since TuneBlade, as far as I know, isn't in the biz of selling airplay-type devices - and from what I can tell I'm going to have to buy another device just to have music playing in sync with the rest of the speakers in the house, but right next to my desktop PC - it should be a slam-dunk feature request.  Please provide...

I'm going to bump this topic.  

Any chance of getting this feature?  

Thanks!

Hi, 

Thank you for this feature request. 

This is definitely possible and is high on our list for the next major release. We already have this module implemented in TuneAero, so it's just a matter of adding and testing it in TuneBlade.

Unfortunately, we currently cannot commit to timelines for the next major release due to some external dependencies.

Please feel free to contact us again. 

Thanks,

The TuneBlade Team

Hi all,

We have just downloaded & tried Tuneblade to stream a windows audio flow (mainly music from different sources) to a Raspberry pi with Volumio. I also noticed this delay problem between both systems.

I looked into the CPU percentage of the sending computer, which is quite old but does not go beyond 6%, same for the network occupation and the wire network we connect to is a 1Gbps.

But this suggestion feature could be a nice to have !

Do you still have some problems to add it ?

Thanks !

I found a way to sync local audio output.
1. install tuneaero

2. in tuneaero preference menu --> multi-zone -> add reciever -> specific audio device, choose your local speaker audio device from

the pull-down menu, and give it a name ( for example, "Local PC Speaker" ) then save it.
3. with tuneaero in background, run tuneblade, you will see "Local PC Speak" in the list of AirPlay device.
4. in tuneblade preference menu --> audio capture --> set capture mode to "virtual device loopback",
you need to install VB-Cable  ( it's free ) first, then you can choose  line-in device and output device to VB-virtual cable ).
5. now play PC music, your local PC speaker will play, but it use default win10 driver,
then when you active "Local PC Speaker" from the tuneblade airplay device, it will
a. mute win10 default pc speaker driver so there will be no sound at first.
b. then it will capture audio from VB-virtual cable device
c. and it will send the captured data to airplay device "Local PC Speaker" ( from 2. you named it at tuneaero preference )
6. tuneaero will sync all the "airplay device" including "Local PC Speaker", so your local PC speaker  will sync with other

real airplay device such as homepod...etc.
