Stream What You Hear

Ever wanted to listen to whatever's playing on your Windows computer music, games, YouTube videos, or podcasts on your TV, sound system, or even a gaming console? Stream What You Hear (SWYH) is a totally free Windows app that makes it happen, no cables or complicated setup required. It works with any device that supports UPnP or DLNA, so if you’ve got a smart TV, a home theater receiver, or even some modern amplifiers, you’re good to go.

What’s great about SWYH is how simple it is. You don’t need to mess with Bluetooth pairing or buy extra adapters. Just install the app, and it automatically finds all the compatible devices on your network. Click the device you want, hit play, and within seconds, the audio from your PC is streaming straight to your speakers or TV. It’s that easy.

But that’s not all SWYH also lets you record audio. Imagine listening to a live podcast, an online lecture, or a song from a streaming service, and being able to save it as an MP3 with just a couple of clicks. You can even capture audio from videos and save them for offline listening later. Just open the Tools menu, hit Record, and stop when you’re done. Your audio file is ready to go.

If you’re looking for alternatives, apps like SHAREit let you share files between devices without internet, and SoundTap Streaming Audio Recorder is another solid option if recording is your main focus. But if you want a no fuss, all in one solution for both streaming and recording, Stream What You Hear is hard to beat.

So whether you’re trying to declutter your desk from cables, share audio with your home entertainment system, or just record something cool you heard online, SWYH delivers without costing a dime.
