What are the options for broadcasting sound to another computer under windows (ideally, something like a virtual output device)?

Question

Audio

Good afternoon. We have: a bunch of laptops and one media center connected to a receiver and a normal audio system. Now, if I want to turn on some music on the audio system, I use the teamviewer / radmin to access the machine and turn on playback already on it.
Is there any software that would create a virtual audio device in audio output devices that would send a stream to the media center? It’s just that with broadcasting in separate players like VLC or windows media, everything is clear, but my main source of music is google play and Yandex.music, they need audio broadcasting from the browser.
In theory, there is nothing unrealistic in the mechanism: it works in the opposite direction, when connected via RDP: we actually launch music on one computer in the browser and play it on another. It’s just necessary that everything be limited only to forwarding the audio device =)

Answer 1

VLC seems to be able to capture video / sound from the screen + then broadcast over the network ...

Answer 2

So, maybe I googled the answer myself: www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio
I will test it today.

Answer 3

I am trying to understand the schema. How do you plan to include music? I have seen and even used programs for sound card emulation. But here's what I don't understand. You put it everywhere. What next? Do you launch a program somewhere, choose where to play music, choose a song and play? Or how?

Answer 4

this is googled , but the site does not inspire confidence, so I did not check it.

Answer 5

Sound broadcasting from one computer to another (others) can be organized using Ivan Sorokin's free miniature client-server application "p2p-music-1.0" released in 2004. The application works on Windows XP and above. On one computer, a server is launched that transmits sounds from the selected sound device (audio card, microphone). Clients are launched on other computers on the local network, without delay reproducing everything that is transmitted by the server. The official website of the program does not work, so you need to look for the program on software portals, for example, https://p2p-music.ru.malavida.com/
