Application to Stream any Audio to UPnP Device (XBox 360)

Application to Stream any Audio to UPnP Device (XBox 360)

Is there any sort of application that will just take whatever audio happens to be playing on a PC and stream it to a UPnP Client? For example, you could just run the app, and then play music from anything....WMP, iTunes, VLC, whatever...it would likely just use the Stereo Mix "device, and then on an XBox 360 you could connect to that stream and it would just play it back.

"Given your specific example of an Xbox 360, No, this is not possible.

While there may be software to stream audio output, the Xbox 360 is missing the software to accept this. It will allow you to stream audio and video files from a PC through either Windows Media Player 11/12 or Windows Media Center, but both of these access the files directly and do not access the audio stream of the PC. The built-in audio player on the Xbox will also only access local files on the hard drive or CD, so this would not work either.

Are there other devices you have in mind as well, or was the Xbox 360 your only thought?"

"It is possible! Try Jamcast, it has an option to stream your soundcard's output. It creates a virtual track on your Xbox 360 under Music/PC-NAME/Saved Playlists/Virtual Soundcard.

It's not free and windows only, but it works great."
