Stream the sound of your desktop to your Chromecast Audio device

ChromeCast Desktop Audio Streamer

This tool captures the audio from your desktop and streams it to a ChromeCast Audio device.

You can download an installer from the 'Releases' folder.

After install there are some options you can set in the config file in the install folder. Also when your device is not automatically discovered you can add it there.

Wishlist

• Support multiple stream formats (for bandwidth reasons). Now it's only possible to change the stream format/quality by changing the settings of your sound device.
