I have seen software for Linux systems that allows me to send the audio from one system to another over the network, is there such a software (a driver likely) for Windows, specificly XP but Vista and Windows 7 would be best. I'd like to stream audio (ALL audio, not just mp3s, etc) from my laptop to another computer over the network. I know that Windows Remote Desktop can play audio over the network pretty easily. Is this part of.Net that I could just code a simple app that streams the audio without RD'ing in?

LAN Audio Monitor Applies to. 1.Transmit alarm to control station: In a company, some computers are distributed on different place. Transformers animated complete series torrent. But alarm system software is placed on these computers. Generally there is no worker beside the computer. With LAN Audio Monitor, the alarm will be transmitted to a control station computer instantly. LAN Monitoring Software - LAN Employee Monitor Key Feature: 1. Captures the screen of employee's computer in real time by matrix screen. With LAN Employee Monitor, the manager can monitor the screen(s) of employee(s)'s PC in real time.

I also don't want to run it over an extra physical wire if possible. I don't know for sure.

But here are some thoughts. The difficulty in sending your laptop's audio over lan is that windows does not provide natively a 'channel' or something to listen on that a software developer could use to implement something. In essence, I believe a successful solution has to be either: • a full-fledged virtual audio driver. From what I understand, this seems like a complicated fare: Try making a fake driver that will support a plethora of inputs (mp3s, surround games and movies, various bitrates and sample rates, simultaneous applications), while also taking care of encoding, transmitting with low latency, receiving on the other end, that works well and is stable with various version of windows, all that with a damn low profit incentive given only a minority of people would be interested to buy it.

Sounds like a bad business plan to me. Have you tried pulseaudio on windows? Apparently it is cross-platform. OR • a real sound card whose driver is designed to allow applications to record its output. A few years ago, Creative Labs had a pretty good 'what you hear' channel that applications could record on. I remember playing audio over sound card hardware effect such as reverb and recording it in realtime in my audio software using this 'what you hear' channel. Technically, Shoutcast will be able to select this channel as the input and stream all your laptop sound.

I don't have a Creative card anymore, so I don't know how well this works nowadays. Plus, I imagine you want to use your laptop's built-in audio, which likely would not have that feature, but an external Creative Audigy might! OR • Audio Over IP / Audio Over Ethernet dedicated hardware. More expensive and complicated than you current best bet: a physical audio cable to your main computer. OR • The quick fix. Plug the output of your laptop back into your laptop's linein with a mini.
