RDP Sound skipping

[Gretchen Hembree]

I have successfully set up sound through my RDP session. My problem now is
that the sound is skipping.

I have tried a few tests with sound through IE or sound actually stored on
the server HD. Both skip.

When you log into the RDP (and have Windows default sound activated) the
start up sound does not appear to skip.

I am wondering if this is a setting that can be worked on or if it is based
on the physical internet connection. I am trying this from a remote site. I
haven't gone to the physical location of the server to test an RDP connection
from that office.

IE has always been a bit slower through RDP than on your local desktop. Is
there anyway to improve that?

Thanks! ~Gretchen

Re: RDP Sound skipping

What sort of sound are we talking about? Keep in mind that RDP is not
optimized for sound in any way so if you are going over slower
connections sound will skip (and that's if your lucky).

Re: RDP Sound skipping

I suppose any music. Either a saved sound or streaming sound like live
radio. I guess I am getting from you that we shouldn't hope for this.

I will be in one of my offices today and am going to play around with it more.

Re: RDP Sound skipping

If you really want sound you should look at Citrix or the upcoming
features from Provision Networks.
