Dear All ...

I need to share an audio-rich application among my Windows 2000 Pro users using a Windows 2000 Server based Terminal server that is running in Aplication Server Mode .

Every thing work as expected exept for the sound .The users can't hear any thing !

Both the server & the stations are equiped with a sound card , the application works fine ( with sound ) on both the server & any individual station when run in stand alone mode ( Locally ).

Where is the problem ?
By the way , should my server have a sound card installed in order for the remote users to play sound ? After all , its the remote machine that will produce this sound ?

Please clarify .

Thanks & Best regards.

Unless you are using Citrix, sound will not work on Terminal Server. RDP does not support it. If you are using Citrix, the server will need to have a sound card installed and the published app will need to have sound enabled on it. Good luck!

Just a quick totally useless answer to follow the previous one. RDP DOES support sound, but it is disabled and you cannot re-enable it. If you had checked out Beta 3 of Win2K server you would have seen a fuly functional sound driven version of RPD. I believe it was disabled at CITRIXs behest.

If you want sound I would suggest getting a copy of CITRIX Metaframe XP. This does support sound, but it does increase the ammount of bandwidth that a client uses.
