    Getting Sound in 10 Home Hyper-V session


    As most users will be aware, one restriction in Hyper-V is that you can only run 10 Home in a Hyper-V virtual machine as a basic session (as it does not have RDP server capability), and cannot then get sound. To date, I have had to use VMWare to play Home VMs and get sound.However, I just came across this gem in GitHub that basically adds RDP server capability to 10 Home sessions.

    github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/releases

    I just went to above URL in Home session, downloaded the zip file, extracted it to a folder, and ran install.bat.

    I then tested it, rebooting Home in enhanced mode, and it just worked.

    You cannot switch Remote off or on - it is just ON as you can see in picture below i.e. volume is active even though text says Remote Desktop is not available..

    You can save a configuration file in same way as for PRO sessions, including connecting external drives.

    Cool eh!

    Hyper-V on Windows Home Edition?

    In my "Services (Local)", the following are listed:

    Hyper-V Data Exchange Service

    Hyper-V Guest Service Interface

    Hyper-V Guest Shutdown Service

    Hyper-V Heartbeat Service

    Hyper-V Remote Desktop Virtualization Service

    Hyper-V Time Synchronization Service

    Hyper-V VM Session Service

    Hyper-V Volume Shadow Copy Requestor

    Since Hyper V isn't supposed to be on Windows 10 Home, I'm wondering what's going on and why it is in my Services. Are there any other services which would appear in Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise or Education that shouldn't appear in Windows 10 Home Services?

    Thanks!

    Getting Sound in 10 Home Hyper-V session

    Hi there.
    @cereberus

    Good interesting find and great info but RDP IMO is a hideous protocol for multi-media streaming

    Great you found a way around the problem but IMO not the best solution. !!! Still think the VMware player is better for this.

    Like you I appreciate ways to solve problems but I'm always open to alternatives which in this case are FREE and available !!!

    Have a great weekend !! See in UK temp is about to plunge to -8C or so --we're basking in unseasonal heat today of around +7 deg C in FEB !!!! - OK raining but not freezing !!!!

    Sure, but in my case, I only used vmware for Home (never use Linux apart from Raspberry Pi) and it was a tad annoying using VMWare just for Home vms.

    I doubt the temperature forecasts are that accurate btw. They often say that for sensationalism but most of time it is one place in a high hill in middle of Scotland not coastal towns like Aberdeen Getting Sound in 10 Home Hyper-V session :).
