Cast sounds from your computer to almost any other device on your network with Stream What You Hear (SWYH).

If you are tired of running wires all over your home just so that you can listen to your music collection, then it might be time for you to take a closer look at Stream What You Hear (SWYH). This lightweight piece of software allows you to cast the sounds on your computer to almost any device that is on your network. With a single click of the mouse, you will be able to play your favorite music tracks and audiobooks on any number of TVs, receivers, and wireless speaks.

Getting SWYH up and running is a simple process, and this lightweight program should work perfectly on practically any Windows device. After SWYH has been installed, a single icon is going to be placed in the icon tray. When you click on that icon, you can choose from the saved devices that you have in the program. Saving a new device is relatively easy as long as it is compatible with UpnP/DLNA. Luckily, the vast majority of wireless speakers and receivers that are on the market are compatible with those two data transfer guidelines.

Once you have clicked on the device of your choice, you can then play your music library, listen to podcasts, or catch up on your favorite audiobooks. There is no limit to what you can listen to, and you should be able to cast the sound as long as it was going to play through your computer's speakers.
