# Enable Audio / Recording Redirection
In order to allow audio playback and recording redirection, first enable and start “Windows Audio Service” in the Services.msc console and enable server’s playback device, and then enable these functions using group policy. Terminal Servers do not need a sound card to do this.
To enable the sound option on all Terminal Servers, right-click the server’s sound icon in the Windows system tray. You will then be prompted to enable remote audio.
To enable the sound redirection options, navigate to Computer Configurations > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Remote Desktop Session Host > Device and Resource Redirection and select the following options:
* **Allow audio and video playback redirection**
* **Allow audio recording redirection**
* **Limit audio playback quality**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-best-practices-guide/remote-access-configuration/configure-remotefx/general-purpose-remotefx-settings/enable-audio-recording-redirection.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
