How to setup Ubuntu to works with AirPort Express

accessories, news, tricks October 16th, 2009

Hi, guys. I’ve found the great solution to stream all your local sounds to AirPort Express, which connected to your multimedia sound system. Frankly speaking it was almost in the default installation of Ubuntu Linux. All you need is to install the latest Pulse Audio and Pulse Audio Volume Control

sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pavucontrol paprefs padevchooser pulseaudio-module-raop

Go to the top menu System -> Preferences -> PulseAudio Preferences

Choose in the top menu

Applications -> Sound & Video -> PulseAudio Volume Control

In the Playback tab choose an application you want to stream and select Stream on dropdown menu your AirPort Express

This is the one way you can do it. But i prefer the following solution. Click with right mouse button on the Sound Volume icon in the application tab and select Sound Properties

In the Output tab select your AirPort Express device and that it. Everything should play well and you can manage volume right from Ubuntu Volume Control or using your hard keyboard button. That works very nice for me even better than in Windows or Mac OS X cause you can stream every application you want and control volume control using your system settings. One more thing i would like to mention is that there is no way to use your iPhone with Remote application

Have a fun

p.s. feel free to share solutions for another versions of Linux OS, like Debian etc.
