The audio jack hole on my Mac is broken.
My Android phone's hotspot is my Internet connection, and I don't have any other WiFi. Is there any way I can have the phone mirror the sound of my Mac?
I have already tried Bluetooth, but I use several other Bluetooth devices at the same time, and the Bluetooth sound gets a significant delay after some time. I work with creating subtitles for movies, and therefore that time delay is unacceptable to me.
Please note that many of the apps that do this require a WiFi hosted by a third device (router.) I don't have that, and need to do it without it.
I know this is technically doable, because when I host a hotspot and connect the Mac to it, an app called AirDroid works fine (without using any cellular data) with a transfer speed of 5 megabytes per second. I'm looking for exactly that kind of connection being used to mirror the Mac audio on the phone.
I would even be interested in doing it with a USB cable. I'm interested in minimal delay and fair sound quality.
The phone is a Samsung I9305 running rooted stock 4.4.4 with Xposed Framework installed.
The Mac is running OS X 10.10.1.
I would prefer not having to buy any new hardware.
