I've not experienced anything like this so can't comment except to say
that on the Airfoil web site there are heaps of troubleshooting tips so
you might like to get your friend Google onto this as I've done in the
past when I've had Airfoil issues.
Again, make sure your firewall is allowing Airfoil to have access to all
the resources it needs.

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.

You’ll just have to test things out for your particular system, press tab to
move to each button and then press the spacebar to activate that button, I know
its an annoyance but that’s exactly what I had to do to learn the layout of the
thing.
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.

Hello Dane
I am sorry for asking again but for some reason I get no sound on my hifi. I
can streme via itunes, so the problem must be with airfoil or winamp. In
airfoil I tab and I hear that the device is the express and another tab shows
the volume as 100%. Is there perhaps something in Winamp I should set or if you
do not use winamp, can you suggest another player?

Yep certainly.
You stream Winamp to your Airport Express by first running Airfoil and
then pressing the "Source" button, its identified by tabbing to it, its
about the third button along and your screen reader should announce
"Toggle" as well as "Button", press the button with the Spacebar and a
list will pop-up of all the physical sound devices and software you can
capture the sound output from, Winamp should be amongst these but if it
isn't then move to "Choose Other App" and select Winamp From there.
Next press all to bring up the menu system and press T for Transmit,
select Airport Express and start streaming.

Ok, can you perhaps give me a few pointers. I have a usb wifi dongle on my pc
and I have an Apple Airport Express. Can I use winamp to stream music from my
pc to my hifi by using winamp? If so, how would I set airfoil up?

I’ve never bothered with the user manual for Airfoil - whether it be Windows or
Mac - and there are more than likely things I’ve missed, I just messed about
with Airfoil until I got the product to do what I’ve wanted it to do.
I guess you can ask questions so I and others may answer.

Hello Dane
I did the upgrade and now I am just wondering: do you perhaps have a user
manual saved as one file. I notice that the manual on the site consists of many
links, so it would be nice to have a .txt or .docx file.

New versions of Airfoil have been released for Mac and Windows, discover what
this amazing audio streaming product can do.
I use both Airfoil on Windows and Mac, accessibility on the Windows PC is okay,
you can tab through the buttons and get to the menu system.
