I have 2 seperate computers, A and B, both run on windows 7, connected by a network. My headphones are plugged to computer A. I want to hear the audio from computer B on computer A. Is there software that can do that for me?

I did find a few things that MIGHT work. The setup just seems a little messy. So if somebody has a solution that works I will be indebted.

Thanks in advance to everyone.

Are you talking about a live streaming of audio? For example, you have a media center computer that is playing a movie. Your wife is on the couch next to you trying to sleep and you are on your laptop. Are you trying to essentially watch a movie on the media center computer/big screen and use the headphones plugged into your laptop for the audio? – kobaltz Feb 3 at 3:26

In Windows 7, its very easy. Turn on HomeGroup on computer B and add computer B in same HomeGroup. Then, in HomeGroup settings of computer B, share music library & allow media streaming..
Now, all you need is to use Windows Media Player on computer A.. Done!

Update:
Looks like you want to get all audio stream passing thru sound card of computer B. If you really want to listen empty recycle bin sound etc. too, first make sure your sound card of computer B supports audio master out or not. Then, use IceCast to stream over network. In source, provide master out of computer B sound card.
