Yes, you can send Audio from a PC to another, if both have soundcards with the appropriate jacks (Usually they look like headphone jacks).

You need to send from Line-Out of one PC to (ideally) Line-In of the other.

You can also connect Speaker-Out to Microphone in, but will most likely get some distortion, and should try with very low volume first.

If connecting 2 Desktops, you most likely need a "3.5mm Stereo Connection Cable". It should have 2 ends like these: . If both devices each have jacks in lime-green and light blue, then you'll want to cable from Audio-Source Lime-Green to Audio-Sink Light-Blue.

If one of the devices is a portable device, you might need a cable, that takes into account the Mono Microphone channel, that many newer mobile devices also have on the Audio Jack (Making it a "HeadSet Port"). (Picture: --Note the 3 black rings on this one)
