Wireless audio streaming
If you need to listen to your PC sound through phone headphones without Bluetooth latency or range limits, PCDeck streams 48 kHz stereo audio over local Wi-Fi with zero audio drivers required. Jump to setup steps or read common use cases below.
Why stream PC sound to your phone?
There are several common situations where using your phone as a wireless audio receiver solves immediate hardware problems:
- Broken 3.5mm audio jack: If your laptop's headphone socket is loose, static-filled, or dead.
- No Bluetooth on desktop: Custom desktop PCs often lack Bluetooth antennas, making wireless headphones unusable without dongles.
- Late-night movie watching: Watch Netflix, YouTube, or gaming sessions from bed without waking anyone up.
- Longer range than Bluetooth: Wi-Fi streams through walls across your entire house where Bluetooth cuts out after a few meters.
