How can I share the speaker a computer is connected to with all the computers on my network that use Windows 11? I want one computer to play music while another computer hears it through its speakers too, even though they are in the same LAN. I can use Banana Voice Meter but I do not know how to see the speakers of the other computer from the computer playing the music and running Banana Voice Meter. Thanks

This problem involves both hardware and software parts. When it comes to hardware, it's usually easiest if speakers are plugged into your network directly through Ethernet or Wi-Fi; that way, they show up on another computer easily. You'd also need some special software so you can "cast" your music to that other device on the same network. For instance, I can play music in Google Chrome and there is a "Cast to another device" choice at the top bar for this exact reason. Using Cast to move music around devices requires figuring out how to do it with the people who make Banana Voicemeter.
