Hello. I have a hyper-v server with 3 terminal servers (in fact there are two hyper-v with a totall of 6 terminal servers).
Hyper-V server is W2K8R2 and so are the terminal servers.
Users connect to the terminal servers using RDP and are unable to play sounds locally on their thin and fat clients.
I installed Desktop Experience and offcourse done the steps below.
- Start -> Run -> services.msc
- Change the Windows Audio service from 'Disabled' to 'Automatic' - and start it.
- Lauch the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration utility by going to START -> RUN/SEARCH -> and typing entering the following command: tsconfig.msc <ENTER>
- On the right-hand pane, double click on 'RDP-TCP'
- Select the 'Client Settings' tab
- Clear/Uncheck the Audio and video playback check box
- Log off the system and launch your RDP client.
- Before you connect to the system, click the Options button/arrow to expand the RDP session options.
- Click the ‘Local Resources Tab’ and under ‘Remote audio’ click the ‘Settings’ button.
- On the window that pops-up, under ‘Remote audio playback’ click ‘Play on this computer’ and click OK.
- Connect to the virtual machine and you now have sound!
- (quick test, you can use START -> RUN -> c:\windows\media\tada.wav (it may prompt you to configure Media Player for first usage).
After this, the users are still unable to play audio in their terminal session.
They have boxes or headphones connected to their devices and are able to play audio local on their fat clients. (Windows pc's)
Does anyone has more idea's?
