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.
  • •
    Fixed Mobile Demo Noise State Coupling - Mobile demo noise processing no longer shares timing state with Bluetooth output.

Version 1.0.8

March 6, 2026
Improvements
  • •
    3x Lower WiFi Streaming Latency - Completely rewritten streaming engine reduces latency from ~300ms to ~100ms. You can now monitor your DAW audio on your phone with near real-time responsiveness.
  • •
    Rock-Solid Streaming Stability - New drift correction algorithm keeps latency locked at ~100ms indefinitely. Previously, latency would slowly climb to 300ms+ and require reconnecting.
  • •
    Cleaner Audio Playback - Optimized buffer scheduling eliminates clicks and pops at buffer boundaries for smoother, distortion-free WiFi streaming.
Bug Fixes
  • •
    Fixed Windows Bluetooth Detection - Fixed false detection of non-Bluetooth audio outputs (e.g., speakers, HDMI) being incorrectly identified as Bluetooth devices.

Version 1.0.7

March 6, 2026
Bug Fixes
