== Introduction ==
In the event your Windows Guest does not require network isolation by traversing NAT (for security purposes) using Scream over the LAN a VirtIO Bridge will yield a overall better experience to using the IVSHMEM drivers. Setup is also simpler.
== Prerequisites & Dependencies ==
* The Guest needs to have a VirtIO Network Adapter installed. This includes:
** Creating a Bridged Network Adapter on the Host
** Passing that the Bridged Network Adapter to the Guest
** Installing the [https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/creating-windows-virtual-machines-using-virtio-drivers/#virtio-win-direct-downloads VirtIO drivers] on the Guest.
=== Dependencies ===
* We also require a few packages:
** <code>git</code>
** <code>libpulse-dev</code> (May already be installed.)
** <code>make</code> (Will already be installed if you've setup Looking Glass)
== Setup ==
For the most basic configuration Scream over LAN does not have much setup to it. === Installing Scream on the Windows Guest ===How to [https://looking-glass.hostfission.comio/wiki/Using_ScreamUsing_Scream_over_IVSHMEM#Configuring_the_windows_VM Configure Install Scream on the Windows Guest]has already been covered. Do make sure after a restart that the default audio device has been set to Scream. === Installing Scream on the GNU/Linux Host ===#Start by downloading Scream from the Github repository. <code>git clone https://github.com/duncanthrax/scream.git</code>#Now navigate to the <code>scream/Receivers/unix</code>, create a build directory <code>mkdir build && cd build</code>, run <code>cmake ../</code>, and build using <code>make</code>.#Scream over LAN is now ready to use. === Running Scream ===Scream only uses a small number of arguments to operate which can be viewed by running <code>./scream-pulse -h</code>:<syntaxhighlight lang=text>Usage: ./scream-pulse [-u] [-p <port>] [-i <iface>] [-g <group>] All command line options are optional. Default is to use multicast with group address 239.255.77.77, port 4010. -u : Use unicast instead of multicast. -p <port> : Use <port> instead of default port 4010 Applies to both multicast and unicast -i <iface> : Use local interface <iface>. Either the IP or the interface name can be specified. In multicast mode, uses this interface for IGMP. In unicast, binds to this interface only. -g <group> : Multicast group address. Multicast mode only.</syntaxhighlight>However confirming that Scream is running on the Windows Guest it can be ran by simply pointing it to the Bridge accociated with the VM. Ex:<code>./scream-pulse -i bridge0</code> If Scream successfully picks up the Guests broadcast the Terminal used to execute <code>scream-pulse</code> should have a similar output to the following:<syntaxhighlight lang=text>Switched format to sample rate 48000, sample size 32 and 2 channels.</syntaxhighlight> <span style="color: red;">'''NOTE: At times it may be necessary to play a clip of audio on the Guest before the terminal will output the above line.'''</span>
