Is there any Android ROM that supports Wi-Fi audio streaming natively without root?

AirMusic is an app I’ve used for a few years to achieve this, and it supports a large number of protocols, including:

  • DLNA / UPnP
  • AirPlay
  • Sonos
  • FireTV
  • and more

However, without root, AirMusic relies on capturing audio from the screen recorder app and relaying it. It’s a clever workaround, but I find it frustrating that stock Android doesn’t simply support Wi-Fi audio at a system level. It shouldn’t be this hard.

I’m currently running GrapheneOS. Unfortunately, the native screen recording app in Graphene seems to block AirMusic’s ability to capture audio entirely, so I’ve lost the ability to stream audio.

Does anyone here know of a better solution?

Frankly, this seems like a feature that should’ve been native to stock Android 15+ years ago.

      I’m referring to streaming all audio from the phone over WiFi in the same way that Bluetooth audio can be streamed.

      Cast is occasionally supported by specific apps, but there is no audio driver level support for any protocol.

      DLNA / UPnP streaming is the most open and widely supported WiFi based audio protocol I’m aware of. Many modern stereo receivers can receive DLNA audio streams. Bluetooth has always had limitations both with range and quality.

    If you want to stream music or video I found this app from a simple search and it worked for me: BubbleUPnP.

    Kodi is also supposed to work but it’s interface is a pain.
