I've seen lots of questions like this quickly get off topic, mostly because people suggest bluetooth solutions instead of Wifi-based systems.
I want to stream audio from my phone to my stereo WITHOUT A PC/laptop/mac. So what I need is a receiving unit that I can connect to that lets me send the audio over WiFi.
I'm wondering why there isn't a simple system/device that I either use wirelessly (WiFi) or connect via Cat-5 to my router, like the Belkin Wireless Audio Bridge, but that can be used over Android.
I have a bluetooth dongle adapter that should be able to work with a 3.5mm plug adapter, but I don't think this will be as robust, long range, or as high of a quality as my WiFi signal.
I really want an Airport type device, but that works with my phone and without me having to run it through a computer, as I don't keep my laptop on just to work as a bridge connection.
Any ideas?

Does anyone know if it is possible to just use the USB cable to connect to a PC, and then to play the Audio from the HTC to the computer with out and Audio adapter in the middle? Currently I have my Fuze connected with an audio adapter but I think its clunky sitting on my desk with two cables coming out and then connecting to the Computers audio in and USB. Also that will free up my audio adapter to use somewhere else. Any help would be great. Thanks
not the best solution
Ok so this isn't my best solution but its the best I've come up with. So my computer has bluetooth. So...I set up the Bluetooth gateway to pipe through my computer as a headphone. It works but I wish there was anotherway to to do it without bluetooth.
how dyou get your computer to act as a speakerphone? mac or pc?
How I did it
So basically you have to turn on Bluetooth on your phone and have it on on your PC/Laptop. Then just connect and as long as you have your Bluetooth Audio Gateway setup it will use your computer to play what your phone speakers use to. This usually works, but sometimes it gets hokie and I have to turn off the bluetooth and try again.
A bit of a weird question, and I expect the answer is probably "no", but I thought I'd ask anyway. Is there a way to hook up a Captivate to a wired network? I was recently in a hotel without wifi, but the room did have a regular ethernet jack. I was thinking maybe some sort of USB ethernet adapter might work. If not, I suppose carrying a cheap wireless router would do the trick.
.. no you need the cheap wireless router
In some places i do not want to use 3g or wifi but have a wired ethernet port free on the router. Some apps only work via wifi or 3g. I use the media importer app with USB OTG cable and a USB/LAN converter for email browsing. Is there a way I can trick apps such as (BBC iPlayer, sky go) to work via the wired LAN port? I would rather not root.
Απ: Using wired ethernet - not 3g or wifi
Why don't you use something like this, (I can't post URLs, just search eBay for "EDUP 150Mbps Portable Mini Wireless Wifi AP Client") and connect via WiFi to the wired lan?
It acts as a mini access point, a repeater or a WiFi client, and it is powered via any USB port, or a provided 5V power supply.

i thought he don't want to use wifi ?
one thing that can be tried is to use iptables. Basically the same tricks that is used by ProxyDroid. Just re-route everything that goes to the wifi interface to the wired interface. Though that means the wifi interface may still needs to be up, but not actually connected to the router.
Hi folks, I have my chromecast connected directly to my Denon avr 3310 and powered from the USB port on my TV. Chromecast is working as expected. I get dolby digital plus with no problems and great hd pictures from Netflix. Trouble happens when I switch back to my satellite box. That's connected to my TV via hdmi and receiver via optical. Since adding chromecast I get audio dropouts when watching satellite. How do I know it's chromecast? When I remove the USB cable powering the chromecast from the TV all audio issues dissappear. Anyone have similar issues? Cheers mick
I would do what was suggested and move the usb to maybe a wall adapter for power for troubleshooting. Also make sure that somehow your optical input is not assigned to the same source as your chromecast hdmi input and double check all your input assignments on the Denon.

Tried everything but in the end changed my satellite receiver to send audio via hdmi to the reciever and everything is playing nice now

Same here with a Denon 790 and analog sources. The Chromecast is plugged on back of the receiver inside a bookshelf nook, so disconnecting it is impractical.
The workaround is to drill down the menu through Input Assign > [HDMI] for the port used by Chromecast > set to "None". When using the Chromecast again, reverse the procedure and reassociate the port. Don't forget which port number holds the Chromecast.
It's inconvenient and my wife explicitly Does Not Like It, but the dropouts stop when you disassociate the port. You eventually memorize the remote key sequence without needing the onscreen menu.
Hope this helps, even after 3+ years.
I was wondering if it were possible to use a WiFi display dongle and Bluetooth keyboard and mouse with deX? I think the only issue is getting deX to launch when you connect to the wifi dongle. I want to be able to just set my phone on a wireless charger and (possibly set up Tasker to launch wifi, deX, Bluetooth, etc) use deX wirelessly, I am attempting to never have to hook up a cable to this phone, I haven't yet lol. ( I broke my last Samsung's charging port, RIP Note 5)
I think deX is a high bandwidth, zero latency affair. A wireless connection is unstable for it.
Maybe it can't work over wifi due to physical limitations. Wifi can have interruptions that may cause connection issues.
That's just my guess though.
