Audio tweaks

[Guest NasdaqProphet@gmail.com]

All-

 

I have a 2003 x64 server running a app with embedded audio. Normally

the app is deployed in a standard LAN config. However, in this

instance it needs to be deployed via TS. Clients are using RDP 5.2.

Network bandwidth is not an issue, client and server are virtual

machines running across the vmware software backplain, occurs in

physical environment too.

 

If more than 10 users get on the TS, as the server tried to delivery

the audio, it will hang the app forcing an end task, its random. I

can however crash the app just by requesting the audio clip about 50

times, and going to the next screen and doing the same again.

 

Now if I connect to RDP and choose the no sound option, the app never

locks. I am lead to believe its how the sound is being delivered over

the RDP connection. Seemed logical to me.

 

Now what I need to do is find a way to monitor and may be change the

increase the output buffers on the TS, maybe throttle the audio

quality possibly.

 

Total Waitforoutbuf always yields a zero for the session before,

during and after lock.

 

I read that you can control the audio quality with this key:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

\Drivers32\Terminal Server\RDP\MaxBandwidth

 

I have found no reference to this key on technet or Microsoft site.
