Ratings and Reviews
App let down by Windows XP
Well it kind of works. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to mute the sound on my WinXP laptop and still have the sound come through to the app which kind of defeats the object. If I change the Windows volume or mute controls, the streamed output to the app is also affected. My laptop sound driver does have an advanced speaker mute option but when I select that, the sound quality to the iPhone drops sigificantly (sounds coarse and muffled).
The app itself works as advertised but the supporting Windows app doesn't really do what's needed, at least on XP.
Works OK
It's not Amazing, but it does work. Occasionally it stutters and looses the connection but for the most part it seems to do the job. As I couldn't get the alternative (Airphones) to work at all then AudioIn won my 59p! Just wish that it did multitasking.
For those of you getting the "you have no audio capture hardware" message this can be remedied by installing a virtual audio capture device - i.e. A bit of free software, not a new sound card. There's one called virtual audio cable that gets installed with the Airphones server package, but this is quite an old version. To find the latest version google "virtual audio cable" and pick a source for the download. Install it and you should no longer get the "no audio capture hardware message"
Does exactly what it claims
Connects to daemon on the PC, plays back whatever the daemon captures.
You will get far better results if your soundcard has a digital mix capture (most laptop ones don't); if the capture is analogue it will pick up the PC's ground noise, and noise from the DA/AD conversion.
There exist virtual soundcard programs that capture the audio digitally; it would be nice if this package included something like that (though then it would need Administrator privileges to install*).
* speaking of which, the PC application demands administrator privileges to install, whereas it only needs Power User, and could easily be made into a portable app. Lazy packaging.
If you're using this for proofing audio to be played back on iOS, bear in mind that its output goes through iOS's equaliser, and (if you're capturing analogue on the PC) your soundcard's equaliser too; both need to be turned off if you want fidelity.
