Disable (Remove) the RDP Audio driver?

[rmeechan@kpttest.com]

Hi All,

I am running into issues with our terminal server - we need to use an
application that keeps crashing due to the virtual sound driver and
currently there is no solution. Is there anyway to remove the RDP
audio driver from TS so that each user session has no sound card
installed? Changing the settings No audio, Redirect audio to remote/
local etc always has the RDP audio driver enabled for the user
session.


I'm just looking for some dirty way to remove it such as the audio
redirector DLL's or something? I really need to get this application
working in TS and currently the developers of the app have no solution
nor a future fix as far as I know...


Thanks.

I don't know of a solution outside of removing them from device manager
and I'm not even sure that would work. what I have found to work with
developers is the threat of withholding payment until such time as they
fix the problem. remember, you are the customer, you hold the money,
they are doing work for you, not the other way around.

Goto "HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Drivers32/Terminal
Server/RDP". There are two REG_SZ's with the name "mixer" and "wave" and
their values point to "rdpsnd.dll". If you prefix the names by an '_' for
example: "_mixer" and "_wave", there is no RDP audio driver available in the
TS sessions. Hope this helps...
