Soundcast For Mac

Developed by Google, the Chromecast media players come as small dongles that can be connected via USB and enable you to stream media content between devices via your WiFi network.

Soundcast is a small OS X utility that takes things even further by enabling you to seamlessly send your system’s audio to any Chromecast device connected to the WiFi network.

Upon launch, Soundcast starts looking on your network for compatible Chromecast devices and displays them in a list accessible via the app’s status bar menu. Note that you can easily make Soundcast refresh the Chromecasts list anytime you like.

All you have to do next is select from the list the Chromecast device you want to employ, and Soundcast will start casting the audio without requiring additional user intervention. To let you know the procedure was successful, Soundcast will also update the menulet icon.

Via the Soundcast status bar menu, you can also stop the casting process, or reset the audio adapter if you are encountering any issues.

Note that, for Soundcast to work, you need to have the Soundflower app installed on your Mac beforehand. Soundflower is designed to be a virtual audio device, and is essential for casting the system’s audio via WiFi.

To conclude, Soundcast offers you the possibility to use the Chromecast device with your Mac and stream media content from your computer to other gadgets with minimal effort.

As long as your WiFi network is working, you have Soundflower installed, and the Chromecast dongle is connected to the target device, dealing with the Soundcast app should go on rather smoothly.
