Is there ANY way to send audio from linux to AirPlay speakers? (I am NOT asking about making Linux an airplay TARGET, which is what Shairport-sync does.) Pulsea

Pulseaudio reportedly used to claim to support it, but there are many reports of people trying and none of anyone succeeding.
- lxgr 2y agoIf you can stream your audio via Google Cast, there are a few Cast -> Airplay bridges. I have one of these running on an RPi (I believe [1]), and it's been pretty much fire and forget. [1] https://github.com/ains/aircast https://github.com/ains/aircast

- lowbloodsugar 2y agoRoon runs on linux and supports AirPlay and AirPlay2. Not free, but is excellent.

Behaves fairly reliably in my experience if you don't mind some latency.

Btw, consider moving to PipeWire instead as it's the preferred a/v daemon these days. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire#Streaming_audio_to_an_AirPlay_receiver https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire#Streaming_audio_to...
