It is laggy despite being a USB connection, and the audio is not being shared to the computer for some reason. I tried adjusting the settings for the Sound Output, but the audio would only come out of the phone. The computer would not receive the audio at all for me to hear from the computer's end.

The app is okay, it does mirror you phone on your PC but there seems to be some major issues that have come up recently. Hopefully Samsung will provide an update with fixes. 1. When typing from your keyboard attached to the PC when running the program, anything on your phone duplicates letters. This is what happens when I type "phone" pppphhoooonnneee. 2. The copy and paste function between PC and phone and vice-versa doesn't work.

When it works, it's pretty good. Screen mirroring works well. But the fact that I have to unlock my phone and open the app every time to use it makes it much less than convenient. The fact that it doesn't allow me to initiate text messages from the PC side without unlocking the phone for screen mirroring is silly. The fact that sometimes it just doesn't connect despite jumping through all those hoops gives it ⭐⭐. If I'm going to do all that, I'll just continue to use scrcpy with a USB cable.
