Disable sound in RDP not working


Recommended Posts

Posted

OK I have a TS 2008 server setup. GPEDIT I disable sound in TS. In terminal

services config I disable redirection of sound. On the clients I disable

redirection of sound. The server doesn't even have a sound card in it. What I

get is the old PC speaker BEEP whenever a user clicks on confirmations like

when they are printing. I even disabled PC speaker in the server and the

remote workstation, it still beeps. Anyone have any ideas?

 

Second question is printing from the server. IF they select extra copies of

a print job they get multiples. Like if they was 2 copies, they get 4. Or if

they want 3 copies they get 6. Any printer, any software. Seems like the TS

side of 2008 is still a little sketchy for me.

 

This is a new HP ml350 server with 2008 server and all the patches and

updates applied.

Thanks!

Try this:

 

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.

2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server

3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.

4. Type DisableBeep, and then press ENTER.

5. Right-click DisableBeep, and then click Modify.

6. In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.

 

Note You can disable the MessageBeep function by changing the value to 1.

7. Quit Registry Editor.

Re: Disable sound in RDP not working

 

Hi,

 

DisableBeep needs to be set to 1 in the registry, then you

need to restart the Terminal Services service for the change

to take effect. All users will be disconnected from the server

when you restart the TS service. Depending on your session

settings you will be able to immediately reconnect to your

session.

 

Thanks.

Yes, but is there a way to disable it on a Vista machine, as I connect to

alot of different servers. I don't want to have to edit the registry on so

many servers if I can just diable it on my workstation.
