But, for Android 11, you must unlock your screen when starting Scrcpy for successful audio capture. On Android 12 and newer, the audio-forwarding feature works out of the box. Romain also shared a helpful client architecture flow-chart that depicts how the video and audio streams are handled on Scrcpy 2.0 if you are interested in the technical bits 🤓 How does it work?: It uses Android's low-latency friendly API called ' AudioRecord' to record the audio, the ' MediaCodec' API to encode the captured audio, and a new 'Audio Player component' to feed the audio output with very little latency.įurthermore, the audio and video streams are demuxed into packets by a ' demuxer'. Since then, Romain has been busy integrating the new functionality into Scrcpy. Luckily, back in January a Scrcpy user, ' yume-chan' provided Romain with a proof-of-concept to capture device audio using shell permissions on Android with a functional workaround for Android 11. Sadly, that had some unavoidable issues that caused it to run poorly. Then he moved on to a new prototype called ' sndcpy ', an API to capture audio from an Android app in Android 10.

The lead developer experimented a lot, initially by developing ' USBaudio ' as a solution, but it performed pretty poorly. It has been the most requested feature since the first version of Scrcpy released five years ago, and now it's here. What is it?: This is a new addition to Scrcpy that allows the streaming and recording of audio from the connected Android device to the host computer without any noticeable lag. The major highlight of this release is the introduction of real-time audio forwarding on Android 11+ devices. 🆕 Scrcpy 2.0: What's New? A screenshot of Scrcpy 2.0 running on Ubuntu. Recently, its lead developer Romain Vimont announced the release of Scrcpy 2.0 with a few new additions.
