I want to transmit my sound (from youtube, music files on the tablet, etc) from my tablet to my computer.

The closest I can get is controlling my library of music on my computer, but I really want to be able to play a youtube video from the youtube app on my tablet and have it play through my computer.

I don't mind buying apps if that is what I need. Any help will be appreciated.

I don't think you will be able to use the youtube app to get where you want to go but there are a quite a few DLNA (google it) based alternatives out there which could be what you are looking for. I am currently evaluating some of them but my objective is a little bit different and probably the toolset as well. Good luck, maybe someone else have good app suggestions. – Fredrik Nov 20 '11 at 12:31

For the Youtube specific part of your request specifically, Google have released an official YouTube Remote app, that allows you to control playing YouTube videos on a PC from an Android phone/tablet. You visit http://youtube.com/leanback on your PC, and the app then interacts with it.

In general it is at the moment impossible to stream all audio from your android to another receiver.

There's no app which can help you because android itself has no APIs for grabbing audio.

But sure you may use a specific player, e.g. one for YouTube and one for music and so on.

I really know what I'm talking about because I'm developing an app for general streaming audio since several months (it's really hard work with rooting, kernel-module etc.).
