Audio Redirection

[Guest Matthew]

Is it possible to redirect audio from a Windows 2K3 Terminal Server to

thin clients? The server does not have an audio card.

yes it is possible because the audio is redirected using a TS virtual

audio driver. Do not expect that you will get good results though

because you will not. RDP is not designed to redirect audio.

Sure. And an audio card is not needed in the server, since the sound

is rendered by a virtual device.

You'll have to allow audio redirection on the server and enable it on

the client.

Thanks. I don't care if it sounds good. The sound quality isn't my

problem. :D

If you experiencing dropouts or a delay while playing videos, have a look in

"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32\Terminal

Server\RDP". There is a REG_DWORD with the name "MaxBandwidth" and the value

22201 ...
