I have and old laptop with some good screen but awful audio. What i want is to stream the audio on my decent tablet to use it as a speaker. This is not a server cloud or anything similar, just a pc with some linux distro installed.

There's this: https://github.com/mkckr0/audio-share

Or this: https://audiorelay.net/downloads

Probably 50 more apps for it as well. I've not tried it, but any of them should work, I imagine
