What software do you use to use your phone as wireless headphones for your PC

Basically i wanna sit in bed and listen to whatever's on the PC screen through my phone(android). Preferably an app that still works when i lock the phone's screen.

 

I was using splashtop years ago but it was dodgy.

You want to pass your audio through your phone? Why not just get a pair of Bluetooth headphones?

I don't personally have the need to listen to audio from my PC via my phone, however, I have used VBAN built into Voicemeeter to send audio over to a server PC, which was then streaming the audio directly into TeamSpeak & Mumble. Um, I mean, FBI please don't ask me to OPEN UP for violating copyright. ?

 

VB-Audio has an Android app called Voicemeeter Receptor that does the same thing on Android. Voicemeeter is donationware, but I highly recommend throwing Vincent a few bucks as he makes the absolute BEST software mixer available on Windows, outside of the professional space, at least.

Do you run a Pro version of Windows? If so, then you can download Microsoft's RD Client and just RDP into your PC whenever you need something.

 

Audio can be finicky over RDP sometimes, but it does exist as an option.
