Yes, you can use your Android phone as a speaker for your computer, even a cheap phone. At this point the real question should be what can't you do on your Android phone, but that's beside the point. Using your Android phone as a computer speaker is probably easier than you think, but you'll have to install an app on both your PC and your phone. It's a good temporary fix if your computer's speakers developed an issue, and it's one of several ways to reuse your old Android phone instead of forgetting it in a drawer.
