Easiest way is to hook a cable from the output of computer B and put it in the
input (Mic) jack of computer A. :-) I've done that before. Of course, if they
are really not even in the same room, that's not going to be practical.
However, if they are sitting right next to each other, that's the easiest way
to accomplish it.
You want to use the Line In or Aux jack, not the Mic jack. If
computer B has a Line Out jack or setting, that is better then the
speaker. You will get less distortion.
A harder way would be to use something like icecast on system B to
stream the music over the network.
