Connect a DLNA / UPnP receiver

Connect through the DLNA / UPnP route and check the settings that matter.

Before connecting

Enable the device’s supported MediaRenderer/network-player feature using its own settings. AirSound looks for a renderer that accepts playback commands; a media-storage server alone is not the same thing.

  1. Connect the receiver and Android phone to the same reachable Wi-Fi network.
  2. Open Settings → Receiver types → DLNA / UPnP and make sure the type is enabled. Start with a supported LPCM or WAV format. A device-specific setting on its row can override the default; reconnect after changing it.
  3. Return to Receivers, tap Scan again and select the device’s matching route.
  4. Approve the Android audio and sharing prompts. Start eligible source music, then confirm sound on the receiver.
  5. Adjust speaker volume on the receiver row if a slider is available. Disconnect from that same row before changing output.
Compatibility check

Audio requires a usable AVTransport endpoint. Speaker volume is shown only with a compatible RenderingControl endpoint. MP3-only receivers are not supported by these output choices.

If it appears in discovery but cannot play, that is not proof that a driver is missing. Confirm the receiver’s advertised service, accepted format and firmware with its manufacturer. See Receiver compatibility.
