How to hear the other computer's sound
During a session you can hear what plays on the other computer: a video, an alert or a sound check. It always starts muted and you turn it on with a button.
Step by step
- 1Connect to the other computerWith its number or from «My computers».
- 2Press the speaker buttonIt's in the session toolbar. If it isn't there, the other computer has an older version of RemoteBite or doesn't let you hear its sound.
- 3Mute it whenever you likePress it again to mute. It turns off when the session ends, and the next one starts muted again.
What the other computer sees
While you hear it, the other computer shows «This computer's sound is being sent». Whoever is there can block it by turning off «Let them hear this computer's sound» in Settings.
Quality and requirements
Sound is end-to-end encrypted, compressed in stereo (about 100 kbps) and only slightly delayed. You hear the other computer's default sound output.
On a Mac it uses the same Screen Recording permission as the picture. On Linux it needs PulseAudio or PipeWire, which Ubuntu and Debian already include.
