Audio over Ethernet

Okay kiddo, so you know how we use wires to connect our computer to the internet and your tablet to charge? Well, sometimes we can use those same wires to send music or other sounds from one device to another.

When we talk about sending sounds this way, we call it "audio over ethernet". Ethernet is just a fancy word for the type of wire that we use to connect things together.

So, audio over ethernet means that we're sending sounds using a special type of wire that's usually used for connecting computers to the internet. It's kind of like a secret code that the devices can translate into sounds that we can hear.

Using audio over ethernet is really handy because we can send sounds over long distances without losing quality. It's also really fast and reliable, which means that we don't have to wait for music or other sounds to load.

With the help of audio over ethernet, we can enjoy music and other sounds from all sorts of devices, like speakers, microphones, and even musical instruments. Pretty cool, huh?
