Preface:
When connecting to RD (Remote Desktop) or TS (Terminal Services)
using the built-in Windows client (mstsc), even with "Remote computer sound" set
to "Bring to this computer", you won't hear anything from the remote computer by
default. Thanks to John Losey and his post to
microsoft.public.windows.server.networking (mirrored
here
for download) this problem is solved.
Update January 19th, 2005: In addition to the instructions
below, the server (as well as the client) must have a sound card, or this will
not work
Method:
Start -> Run...
Type "tscc.msc" without the quotes, and press OK
On the left side you should see that "Connections" is selected,
on the right side you should see, under the "Connection" tab, RDP-Tcp.
Right click that, and press properties
Go to the Client Settings tab, and under "Disable the
following:" you will see "Audio mapping" checked. Uncheck it. Now
press OK and you should be set!
Special thanks to John Losey on the Windows Server groups for
posting the original message (I was kind of wondering how to do it myself ;-)
