Abstract: An apparatus and method for transmitting audio with coexisting wireless networks. In one embodiment, a wireless device includes a first wireless network controller and a second wireless network controller. The first wireless network controller and the second wireless network controller are configured to access a wireless communication medium via a shared antenna, and to transmit, via the wireless communication medium, data received from a host device. The second wireless network controller includes an audio stream detector configured to determine, based on the contents of the data received from the host device, whether an audio stream is to be transmitted via the second wireless network controller, and to request that the second wireless network controller be given access priority to the antenna over the first wireless network controller, based on a determination that the audio stream is to be transmitted via the second wireless network controller.
