Universal media player question

So I’ve got my TTS working via VLC to a small speaker directly attached to my Pi running HA. All works good but the sound is rather weak (that’s what you get for a hamburger speaker).

My question is, can I also run a second media player, the universal one, via my PC which then outputs sound via my soundbar? I realise I would need to have these devices up and running to get the TTS to play, but I would choose the appropriate media player in each automation accordingly.

The real point I’m getting at is whether the universal media player will force a PC to play a TTS MP3 file from a HA automation?
