Try the legacy Fire TV connection

Connect through the Fire TV route and check the settings that matter.

Before connecting

This route requires a Fire TV device/firmware that still advertises the legacy Fling/Whisperlink playback service. Being a Fire TV does not by itself mean the service is available.

  1. Connect the receiver and Android phone to the same reachable Wi-Fi network.
  2. Open Settings → Receiver types → Fire TV and make sure the type is enabled. WAV is fixed for this route. Use the Fire TV remote for volume.
  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

This is a legacy compatibility path, not universal current Fire TV support. If the firmware no longer offers the required service, changing AirSound’s switch cannot add it. Use a separately supported receiver route if available.

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.
