Redirect audio from laptop to desktop over LAN
- by Ram Rachum
I want to be able to play a song on my laptop and have it sound through my desktop's (infinitely better) speakers.
If you're familiar with Input Director: I want something that is to audio what Input Director is to mouse/keyboard. I want something that automatically redirects all audio from the laptop to the desktop in real time, and I want that solution to require, like Input Director, minimum maintenance. Beyond the initial setup, I don't want to have to babysit the program that does this. I want something that launches automatically with Windows and just works, and also allows me to cancel it whenever I want. And also doesn't go crazy when the laptop is turned on in a different network where the desktop computer isn't available.
Any suggestions for such a program?
(I use Windows XP on both computers.)
