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
