2k8 Remote Desktop - No Audio Output Device installed

[Guest Lionel Brincat]

I use Win Vista SP1 to connect with remote desktop to Server 2008. I set the

connection to leave audio on the server to that I can configure steaming

media.

 

But when doing this I get No Audio Output Device installed.

 

I need the server to see the soundcard when on remote desktop.

 

Is there any solution for this problem.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks.

Hi! Lionel,

 

"Leave Audio at remote" has the same effect as "Do not Play" when you

connect to Server. In other words you cannot leave audio at the remote

machine when you conenct to a server. This is irrespective of whether you

have a sound card or not.

 

However you can redirect the audio to your local machine (Vista SP1 in your

case) by choosing "bring to this computer" in your client. For this to happen

successfully make sure Windows Audio Service is running on WS2008.

 

Could you provide additional details about your scenario? When you say you

want to configure streaming media what exactly are yo trying to do?

 

Thanks.

One more thing. By default "Audio Playback redirection is disabled. You would

have to enable it in the TS Configuration Manager -> RDP-TcP Seetings ->

Client Settings. Make sure Audio Playback is unchecked. You will need this

for you to hear the audio on your client machine.
