"FlooCast"
is designed for configuring Flairmesh Technologies' USB audio source dongle, the FlooGoo FMA120. It empowers users to customize its settings for different operational modes, including high-quality mode for Bluetooth A2DP audio streaming, low-latency gaming mode, and the latest Bluetooth low-energy audio features, such as public audio broadcast. Additionally, it provides the ability to verify the currently employed Bluetooth audio codec during streaming and broadcasting. It also serves as a tool for firmware updates.
For Mac users, please download the app version that matches your CPU type.
Firmware Updates
Please refer to the README.txt in the zipped file for instructions on updating the firmware.
Note:
Please download the firmware files to a local folder instead of OneDrive or other cloud-based folders. We have had customers experience update issues due to this.
V1.0.8: Added support for Sony Linkbuds S in LE audio mode. Resolved an issue that caused pairing problems. Please note that for LE audio headphones without a Qualcomm chipset, the current firmware does not support multiple devices in paired list when the "Prefer using LE audio for dual-mode devices" option is enabled in the Floocast App.
V1.0.7: Fixed a bug in V1.0.6 that caused paired devices to be cleared after the update.
V1.0.6: Added support for high-quality and gaming modes with LE Audio for Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.
The firmware currently supports only one LE Audio device at a time. It will reconnect
(when using LE Audio) to the most recently connected Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.
In gaming mode, the "Dongle State" will consistently display as "Audio Streaming"
when using LE Audio, even if the microphone is enabled. This is due to the fixed playback
sample rate of 48 kHz, while the microphone operates at 16 kHz.
In high-quality mode, when the microphone is enabled, the playback operates at
a 32 kHz sample rate, while the microphone functions at 24 kHz for the Samsung Buds 2 Pro.
If the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro were paired without enabling the
"Prefer using LE Audio for dual-mode devices" option,
please remove the pairing and re-pair with this setting enabled.
When the Samsung Buds 2 Pro disconnects and reconnects within a short time frame,
it may occasionally take several attempts to resume audio streaming.
The firmware is designed to handle this automatically, so please wait for it to reconnect.
V1.0.5: Enable aptX HD codec; Enable aptX Voice; Adjust Auracast parameters to enhance compatibility with hearing aids; Control microphone gain using the Windows volume slider.
V1.0.4: Use with FlooCast V1.0.8 or later versions. Added functionality to control the LED and toggle aptX Lossless on or off; Display real-time bitrate and RSSI in both aptX Adaptive and Lossless modes.
V1.0.3: Fix a cutoff issue with aptx lossless; Add support for reconnecting to a selected paired device.
V1.0.2: Add aptX Lossless encoder to A2DP.
V1.0.1: Correct LED patterns in broadcast mode.
