Share Audio Output Between Computers

Roshan Karki Anonymous
Imagine this, I bought a new laptop after my old laptop's hinge problem. Today the sound card of my new laptop died.

So today I decided to route the sound of my new laptop to my hinge broken laptop. With synergy I've been sharing the keyboard and mouse. Now sound card will also be added.

This is how I transfer audio to different hardware.

On the server computer install PulseAudio Preferences. You can install it by clicking here . You can run it running the command paprefs .

Go to Network Server tab and enable:
  • Enable network access to local sound devices
  • Allow other machines on the LAN to discover local sound devices
  • Don't require authentication

Now go to Simultaneous Output tab and enable:

  • Add virtual output device for simultaneous output on all local sound cards

Now go to client computer and install the same program and run it. This is a very simple but powerful program for PulseAudio hardware sharing.

Go to Network Access tab and enable:

  • Make discoverable PulseAudio network sound devices available locally

Now in the same client computer go to your Sound Preferences and go to output tab. There you will see a new output device as on the picture.
Select it and now all your sound will be routed to the other computer's hardware.

Increase Free Space On HTC Desire Android Phones

Roshan Karki Anonymous
Are you running out of free space on phones like HTC Desire and variants? It only has about 150MB of free space and after official Gingerbread 2.3.3 update the free space has decreased. Its really frustrating seeing all those apps with 20MB+ size eating up valuable space on Android phones. Even with App2SD I had very very difficult time maintaining free space. Installing apps like Facebook, Google Plus, Google Reader would eat up all the space. Today I used link2sd to increase free space on my Android phone and now I've more than 1GB of free space for installing apps. I've been installed so so many apps now. link2sd can move your application apk, dex and lib files to second partition of your SD card and creates a symlink where necessary. Even when you mount your SD card in computer the apps in SD card will work as only the first partition will be mounted in computer.
