• Jan 22, 2013 I am loving remote desktop in Windows Server 2012. One problem - I can't figure out how to enable sound. The usual remote desktop/terminal services tools are missing in 2012. (See tsconfig.msc / tsadmin.msc in Server 2012 on ServerFault).
• When I connect to my windows 10 desktop PC (in a local network 1gig ethernet connection) and start a video the audio is very delayed. The video playback is very smooth but the audio is delayed by about 1-2 seconds.

The Remote Desktop Connection dialog box opens. In the Computer list, choose or enter the name of the computer to which you want to connect, and, in the User name box, enter your user name. On the Local Resources tab, choose the Settings button. Under Remote audio recording, choose the Record from this computer option button, and then choose. This is a tutorial of how to remote desktop your PC to Mac (AND) Mac to PC (WHILE) HAVING THE AUDIO PASS THROUGH!?!?!? I use two pieces of software in this t.

Follow the steps below to allow redirection of sound from a remote desktop server (terminal server) to local/client machine. This applies in Windows Server 2008R2. – see notes further below if you are using Windows Server 2012R2.

1) Install the “desktop experience” feature in server manager and then start the windows audio service. We have noticed that the server should be rebooted twice after installation of the desktop experience role. We do not install this feature by default as it consumes additional resources. After the reboots, make sure the windows audio service has started – if needed, click on the sound icon in the lower right corner, right click to sounds, follow prompts.

2) Confirm that sound redirection isn’t restricted on the server. Go to RD Session Host Configuration, right click on RDP-tcp and go to properties, go to client settings tab and verify that audio playback is not disabled. – UNCHECK THE BOXES TO ENABLE

3) On the Remote Desktop Connection client on your local machine, under local resources, verify that it says “play on this computer” for remote audio playback. Check these settings on your client prior to logging into the server.
