Also, there are situations when your laptop inbuilt speakers stops working and you want to listen to the audio or video being played on your laptop.
For this, you now use your Android speakers as external speakers by wirelessly connecting your Android phone with your PC. For this, we will be using SoundWire app for Android. SoundWire app allows you to wirelessly connect your Android phone via PC and use Android speakers as PC speakers to play sound from PC to Android. The app works great on Android phones.
