I am trying to pass audio from a laptop to a desktop via a headphone jack from the laptop to a line in on the desktop but it provides constant static. I have tried two different aux cords (new). I currently think I might need an USB to Audio Jack Sound Card Adapter but don’t want to buy this too and have to return both if it does not work. Do I need it to be a line out and not a “Headphone Jack” or a sound card?

Thanks

    The problem with this one is main PC is Windows and second is Linux or can be whatever I just wish main to stay windows until more games support Linux better I hear good things and play via steam deck but not everything works from what I hear.

    I have been looking into options from the earlier post and will probably try one this weekend. At the least I find it really interesting

      Oh, Windows is in the mix, that’s unfortunate.

      Gaming on Linux has come a long way but it’s not 100% yet; more like 90%. You could try looking up your favourite games on https://www.protondb.com/, it even supports loading up your library to give a more personalised picture.
