Version 1.0.9

Mobile Streaming Stability Upgrade

Wi-Fi monitoring is now significantly more stable across iPhone, Android, and multi-device sessions. Replaced the core audio routing with a non-blocking design to eliminate glitches.

Improvements

•
Major Mobile Streaming Stability - Wi-Fi monitoring is now significantly more stable across iPhone, Android, and multi-device sessions with increased playback safety margins and improved underrun recovery.
•
Auto-Select Bluetooth Device - When AirPods are not found, AirCheck now automatically selects any available Bluetooth audio device instead of showing nothing.

Bug Fixes

•
Fixed Wi-Fi Jumping/Noise After Lag - Resolved a recovery bug where a single underrun could cause repeated audible artifacts.
•
Fixed Multi-Client Streaming Interference - Slow mobile clients no longer drag down faster clients during broadcast playback.
•
Fixed Real-Time Audio Thread Risks - Removed blocking locks and runtime allocations from critical audio paths to reduce glitch risk.

Version 1.0.8

March 6, 2026

Improvements
