I have audio working on my system (Win2K8 R2, Gateway GT5654 PC, Realtek audio). I’m using the Vista x64 audio drivers, which is the closest I could find.
The WinAudio service is running, and audio works fine when I log in to the local console. But when I RDP in, even if I select “Bring to this computer”, I don’t get sound. When I’m remoted in, the speaker icon in the tray shows a red “x”, and the mixer says “No audio devices are installed.”
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

I found it!
1. Under Administrative Tools/Remote Desktop Services, choose “Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration”.
2Under “Connections”, right-click the RDP-Tcp connection, and choose Properties.
3. Click the “Client Settings” tab
4. In the redirection box, anything that is checked will *not* be redirected. My setup had “Audio and video playback” and “Audio recording” checked. Uncheck them.
5. My setup also had the “Limit Maximum Color Depth” checked, and set to 15bpp. I unchecked the limitation.Once those settings are changed and saved, disconnect the RDP session (if you’re currently in one) and reconnect. The settings will take effect.

I’m glad you solved it! 🙂 This info is also more or less available at the Enable Remote Desktop with Aero page in the manual.
