Hey there! I noticed you're looking into transferring your desktop audio from an older Windows 7 system to your new gaming PC. That's definitely a smart move for better media control and flexibility. There are a few ways to achieve this, like using audio routing software or setting up network streaming with compatible tools. Let me know if you want some suggestions on programs that work well with Windows 7 setups!

When these computers connect, you can set up a common directory on the Windows 7 machine with the files, then stream them to the latest system via a player. The volume settings should support independent adjustment for each application.

I understand but I only have around 20 tracks. Most of my listening happens online via YouTube and different radio sites, so having streaming audio on my desktop would really help me.

Store the tracks on the identical computer used for gaming, load them into a playlist for a media player such as VLC to run in the background, and let the games take center stage.

Falcon, the 20 tracks weren't the problem—just sharing a YouTube audio file across the network. I discovered a fix with VLC Media Player. Set it up for full-screen sharing and streaming, then restrict the output to MP3 only. Make sure your sound settings have stereo mix enabled. On the secondary PC, launch VLC on the main PC and connect via a network stream using the IP address from the secondary machine plus ":8080". This works well for YouTube, iHearRadio, and other streams, letting you control it from the second computer. Here’s how I configured it on the secondary PC:
