Identify what was selected as the source
Open AirParrot’s main menu and inspect its From selection. Squirrels documents audio-only as an option there. Its feature list separately distinguishes whole-screen mirroring, one-application mirroring, desktop extension and media-file streaming.
A sound-only result can therefore be consistent with the selected task. Write down both the chosen source type and destination. A receiver receiving audio establishes one supported path, but does not show that a screen or media picture was requested by the sender.
Choose the mode that matches the purpose
If you want the desktop visible, select an appropriate screen-mirroring source supported by the sender and receiver. If you want one application or an authorised media file, use the corresponding mode rather than assuming that every source shares the entire display.
Check what the selected mode will expose before starting the connection. A whole-desktop demonstration can include material outside the intended video window. Close unrelated private windows before using whole-screen mirroring for the comparison. Keeping the source choice narrow also makes the comparison clearer when you are investigating a missing picture rather than presenting unrelated applications.
Compare the same receiver
Use one destination and one source at a time for the first repeat. Confirm whether the receiver now displays the requested picture and whether audio remains present. If changing the source mode changes the result, preserve that observation before trying a different receiver or network.
For support, report sender OS, AirParrot version, From mode, receiver model and whether the sound-only state was intentional or unexpected. This avoids combining a correctly functioning audio stream with a separate mirroring problem. No source-mode choice establishes that every protected programme can be displayed through the resulting route; the source application’s supported outputs remain relevant.
