Stream Audio over Network between 2 Windows-PCs

hacker3000 · Dec 2, 2007, 03:46 PM

Hello @all

I'm searching a way to send all audio from a Windows XP machine to a Windows 2000 machine over network. The idea behind this is, i want do that wirelessly. My notebook has Windows XP and my little fileserver Windows 2000. On that fileserver, I've attached an Creative Xmod usb soundcard, which is hooked up on my stereo amp. So basically, I need something like an audio streaming driver for my notebook, which acts as a soundcard. This driver sends all audio signals uncompressed in stereo over the network. On my fileserver, there will be an application that plays all that sound which he receives. Does something like that exist? Or do you have other ideas? I know there are bluetooth soundcards and stuff like this, but I don't want to have extra devices attached to my notebook, I'd like to do all over the existing network.

Sorry about my english, I'm coming from Switzerland

Thanks in advice!

sounds like you need southcast server and winamp. you setup the server on your laptop and stream music with it to your win2000 computer that has winamp and it plays the stream.

Hi!

I think that is really cpu hungry, because it needs to be recompressed... So the quality won't also be as good as if the soundcard is attached directly to my notebook. And there will be for sure a lot of latency... I think someting like the "RDP Audio Driver" in Remote Desktop is what I'm searching for.

but you didnt try it so how can you think it will be cpu hungry?

shoutcast is fine, VLC might also work

do you just want to listen live? 192kbit is just fine

uncompressed would be a lot of constant data being sent through the network adapters
