No Sound on Windows Server 2003

[Rickard Andersson]

I'm running RD on Windows Server 2003 and can't get the
sound working. The error messages says that it is
something with the driver(?)

Do you know why sound can't be streamed when remoting to a
Windows Server 2003 computer?

What to do? Downloads? Any links?

1. Audio redirection is disable by default on Win2003 server. So open
tscc.msc-->Connections-->RDP-Tcp-->ClientSettings--> make sure you uncheck
"Audio mapping" here.
2. Also, Window audio service is disabled by default on the server. Open
services.msc-->Double click on WindowsAudio and make sure the service is
started.
3. Now, open the remote desktop client and make sure that the under
options-->LocalResouces-->make sure you select "Bring to this computer" for
Remote Computer sound option.

And obviously you need to have sound card installed on your server and the
client.

There is also a known issue with audio redirection when one leaves
sound at the remote computer...
