dude998866 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 I use my laptop for almost everything but the speakers in it leave much to be desired. So I have a high quality stereo system that is hooked up to another of my computers. Can I rig it so that when I play music on my laptop instead of coming out of the laptop speakers it used the stereo that's plugged into my other computer.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I cannot imagine any setup that would allow this.I would go and check if there is any audio interface that allows to connect multiple computers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude998866 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 This is not quite what i was looking for. I was hoping to use my network so as I could use my laptops wireless connection so that I could play music regardless of where in the house it is. I was thinking hat there may be some way to create an audio stream from media players output on the laptop and redirect it through the network to be picked up at the other computer and played via it's speakers.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 That would have to be some complex audio client-server system that I don't think anybody has built yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S731S74S Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I think that I'm missing the point here.So if your computer is standing in one room with the speakers, what is the point to put sound through the speakers if you are in the other room with a laptop?

Mike567 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 VLC will do this you can set it up to stream the audio/video or you can use it to setup a http kinda server so you can control it via your browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
