Wave Cast — Dual PC audio, made simple

Last updated:

If you run a dual PC setup, Wave Cast is built for you.

We designed it to send game audio from your gaming PC to your streaming PC using Ethernet or Wi-Fi. That way, you can keep everything connected to your gaming setup, including your headphones, while managing your stream, voice, and apps on the other side. Audio goes one way at a time, but you can swap directions when needed.

Key features

  • Low-latency audio: Delivers audio with minimal delay between PCs
  • One-click pairing: Detects your other PC and connects automatically
  • Flexible routing: Send all audio, the current app, or something specific
  • Output control: Choose any output device or virtual channel on the second PC
  • Control from either PC: Pick apps and outputs from either side without switching machines
  • Custom network settings: Pick your adapter and adjust latency to match your setup

What’s coming next

These features are already in the works for after the beta:

  • Mic return for voice chat on the gaming PC
  • Route different apps to different outputs on the streaming PC
  • Stream Deck integration
