I seem to be spending more and more time sat at my computer working and wouldnt mind improving my Audio system.

I have 4 Samsung Wireless/Bluetooth R1 360 speakers and wondered whether there was a way of streaming the music to these?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated as to whether I need to buy a "box" I can plug into the audio out of my PC and then that streams to the 4 speakers as RL, RR, FL and FR or whether there is a software program I can download and use to control the 4 speakers. Ideally without audio lag so Im not watching some dodgy 1980s dubbed film!

Thanks in advance

Daft response but couldnt you just use bluetooth to connect to them ?
Maybe have to buy a bluetooth dongle but hey don't cost much these days

How would you manage the video lag though?

I get this issue when using bluetooth headphones with an Android tablet, and I can't find anywhere in settings for the device, the streaming platform or the headphones to let me adjust it.

The truly bizarre thing is that it is definitely video lag, not audio lag, as in the audio runs a noticeable fraction ahead of the video, which seems completely counter-intuitive to me?

Certainly on a PC, VLC appears to let you adjust the relative timing of audio and video:
