How can I send sound over a network? My Computer's sound dosn't work. I've tried flashing the bios, new drivers for everthing..ect. Basically I'm looking for a small program that will act like a device driver, and make the sound come out of a remote computer. That remote computer is a laptop which I can hook my speakers too.

Any Ideas?

Unless you know a scripting language like PERL to tell the client to play the media the best way to do this is to create a share on the host computer put your audio files into that share and map the share on the client computer. Make sure the destination client has the program you need to play the media, i.e. winamp, media player installed on it.Then manually start it from the client. If its just regular CD audio, plug your speakers into the headphone jack on the CDROM in the front and you don't have to use the network. Hope that helps ya. GL
 
This is sound that would be live.. I'm making a video out of stop-animation with legos for a school project, and now I'm trying to add sound. The sound would have to be constantly updating, playing whatever the host wanted it to. I'll eventually get a new Motherboard, but for now, a simple program should do... TY for the help neomagic.
