Airfoil's settings can be accessed from the Airfoil menu. The available options are divided into three tabs.
Show Airfoil: This toggle determines how Airfoil's interface appears. By default, Airfoil appears in both the Dock and in the menu bar in the upper right of your screen. For more details, see the page detailing Airfoil's menu bar mode.
Play "Computer" Audio Through: This setting adjusts the audio device through which audio from Airfoil's Computer output plays.
Allow remote speakers to connect to Airfoil: With this setting on, Airfoil Satellite will be able to request that Airfoil send it audio. Activate audio from where you want to hear it, instead of from Airfoil itself.
Allow remote control of Airfoil and audio sources: When this is active, commands can be passed from remote speakers to and through Airfoil. This will enable Airfoil Satellite to control Airfoil, toggling outputs on and off, adjusting their volumes, and even switching the selected audio source. As well, supported sources will be controllable, enabling you to remotely pause audio, skip tracks, or go back.
Automatically Check for Software Updates: With this option activated, Airfoil periodically compares itself to the most current version available from our server and alerts you when a new version is available. Leave this on and Airfoil will help you stay up-to-date.
To initiate a check manually, click the Check for Updates… button.
Groups Table: This table contains a list of all the groups you've created. From here, you can add a new group, remove a group, or adjust the speakers a group contains. For more information on Groups, see the Using Airfoil page.
Automatically Transmit To: When launched, Airfoil will immediately begin transmitting audio from the last selected application to the selected speakers. To turn off automatic transmission of audio, just uncheck any and all boxes.
Automatically disconnect from all speakers after [X] minutes: Turn this control on to force Airfoil to disconnect from any outputs if it streams silence for the specified time. This can be useful in situations where multiple people send to an output. Ordinarily, if a user forgets to disconnect, other users will be prevented from sending audio to the output. This setting will automatically disconnect the user after the specified time, enabling others to connect.
