+---- Thread: Win use xbmc as speakers (/showthread.php?tid=136904)
use xbmc as speakers - yoeri - 2012-07-25
hi to all,
installed xbmc today on a netbook (sony) running win7 (32 bit).
used the acer laptop as "server".
all works fine , xbmc finds the files (mp3, film and photo) and plays it.
even works great on tv.
i did read somewhere on the www that you can use the pc with xbmc installed as speakers for another pc /laptop in the network.
when all is correctly installed the xbmc-pc (sony netbook) would be an option on the acer to choose for standard audio output.
sadly , it seems i'm not able to find out how to make the correct settings for it.
any hint or tip would be welcome.
for the rest , great program.

I'm sorry, but you read/heard wrong.

Are you referring to DLNA feature? In windows 7, you can select any video or audio file in your acer laptop and use the option 'Play To' > your sony xbmc system.
