Approve audio, sharing and notification access
Understand each Android prompt and recover if you selected Deny or Cancel.
| Access | Why AirSound asks |
|---|---|
| Audio access | Android calls this microphone or record-audio permission. App-audio capture also requires it. The selected source determines what is captured; granting it does not silently change app audio to microphone input. |
| Screen sharing | Android MediaProjection consent authorizes eligible app-audio capture. AirSound does not send screen images. Android may require fresh consent for a new session. |
| Notifications | Lets AirSound show its foreground-session notification and controls. This permission is separate from notification-listener access. |
| Track details (optional) | Notification access lets AirSound inspect media sessions for title, artist and supported play/pause controls. Android warns that this is broad access. It is optional and does not unlock capture from a protected app. |
| Background battery usage | An Android system setting for background reliability, not an audio permission. |
| Wi-Fi | A shortcut and network-status check. AirSound does not change Wi-Fi on your behalf. |
When Android asks to share
Read the system dialog. For the guide’s app-audio workflow, choose Entire screen when available and confirm with the system’s sharing button. Wording varies by phone and Android version. You can cancel; the receiver row then offers retry.
If you denied access
- Open AirSound → Settings → Manage app permissions.
- Allow the audio permission in Android. If notifications were blocked, open AirSound’s separate Notifications shortcut.
- Return to Receivers and select the receiver again. Screen-sharing consent must be approved through Android’s prompt; a green check cannot grant it.
Green checks mean the corresponding status is enabled; a red cross means it is not enabled. Track details may stay red if you choose to skip it. That alone does not stop audio streaming.
