Future RDP Protocol Versions for sound

June 25, 2008

Could somebody help me understand whether a future rdp version is likely to

support audio in. Could it be possible and is it likely to be in an immenent

release?

In orde to run VOIP applications on thin clients means having to run citrix

as far as I am aware.

Thanks for your help.

James.

RE: Future RDP Protocol Versions for sound

Server 2003 and the RDP that comes with XP and Vista support Drives, Sound,

Serial Ports, and of course Video. If I remember correctly, the server itself

must have the appropriate sound drivers installed to be able to pass it to

the client, but you can test that. as far as how VOIP would work through this

process it would require some testing on your part. I'm not sure you would

get the QOS you are looking for. I have used Media Player through RDP to play

sonds etc. but they frequently "skip" and it's not the network speed.
