Hello Dane I now discovered that if I turn the volume of my hifi quite up I just hear crackles. I then tried VLC and now I hear the music but it sounds like a robot so that I can not even hear the words or who is singing. As I said Airplay in iTunes does work, so I do not know what the problem may be. Very strange. Regards Fanus

Now the buttons will be obvious as you test, one will minimise Airfoil, another exits Airfoil and another brings up the source list, these are the devices you can capture sound from to be streamed to your Airport Express or whatever. Another thing you’ll have to possibly look at is your Firewall, Airfoil probably won’t be able to transmit to your Airport Express until your Firewall allows it to do so, in which case Airfoil will probably report an error message and your Firewall - depending on what you’re using - may come up and ask you if you wish to allow Airfoil to connect to your network or similar. > On 16 Jul 2016, at 9:45 PM, Fanus <buys.fa...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello Dane > I am sorry for asking again but for some reason I get no sound on my hifi.
