Windows 10: Crackly sound from remote desktop session

Both clients are running Windows 10, the latest version as well. I'm using the standard remote desktop session client program application thing, to connect to the remote machine. All is fine, everything works. Except audio is crackly. A simple *ding* sounds horrific, like a broken record on grandma's grammophone.


Everythig else is fine & dandy. The connection is over a 1Gb soon to be 10Gb local LAN. A bog standard configuration.


So how do I fix audio?

Windows 10 Remote Desktop Session - Sound stops when disconnect

This was originally asked as a question back in 2016

Windows 10 Remote Desktop Session - Sound stops when disconnect

To summarise: Connecting or disconnecting a Remote Desktop session to a Windows 10 machine disrupts the Audio Drivers in a way that halts audio playback, and requires the playing application to be restarted. It seems tied to updates to Remote
Desktop in Windows 10 Anniversary Edition.

That thread had plenty of people experiencing the same problem, plenty of attempts to fix the problem, but no conclusion or feedback from Microsoft.

I have tried:

• Disabling audio redirection in the Registry (HLKM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\fDisableAudioCapture)
• Disabling the Remote Desktop Port Redirection Service
• Disabling (on my client) Remote Audio Playback (Playback on Remote PC)

None of these help. As soon as you connect or disconnect, RDP is messing with the Wave drivers, and the applications can't handle it.

Does anyone share this problem or have any other suggestions to try?

 

Remote Desktop - Screen resolution in remote session

I have connected to a remote desktop session and the windows in the remote session are all too small for me to see.

I have edited the remote desktop connection settings and cannot seem to make anything larger.

I am using a new Dell Inspiron Laptop which has a very high screen resolution 3840 x 2160

Any suggestions appreciated

Thank you
