Windows 10: No audio in Hyper-V - Win10 VM on Win10

I'm running Windows 10 Pro, using Hyper-V, with a VM that is running Windows 10. I've already read Overview: Client Hyper-V Enhanced Session Mode in Windows 8.1 and Hyper-V Enhanced Session Mode - Turn On or Off (referred to in several other related articles) and neither worked.

In my case, I never see the RDP connection dialog that allows selecting the audio. When I click "Connect" from on the VM from within "Hyper-V Manager", it displays the VM terminal window. The only actions are to "Start" or "Checkpoint" the VM.

On the VM host, both the "Enhanced Session Mode Policy" and "Enhanced Session Mode" are checked. On the VM guest, "Remote Desktop Services" is running.

What else needs done?

Hyper-V Virtual Machines Fail to Start and Initialize after Windows 10 Upgrade from Windows 8.1

I setup a vm on win8.1.2 using the exact same settings I used on win10, and the vm started to boot (it did not totally boot beacuase there was no OS, but I got expected results) there is definitely an issue with win10 hyper-v. I did notice that disabling
the hyper-v remotfx3d entry in device manager seems to allow the vm to boot further before erroring out with the same error as in OP

 

After installing Win10 1709 on host OS, Hyper V VM viewer no longer has sound

After upgrading to Win10 1709, the Hyper V VM viewer is no longer playing sound from a Win10 1703 or 1709 guest. It worked fine prior to the 1709 update. Sound also works fine using Remote Desktop. I've tried disabling and re-enabling guest services
with no luck.

 

Are all services checked in the VMs integration services tab?

 

I found that creating a VM using Win 10 Pro presented the connect dialog as described in the articles. I can now use the audio. Apparently Win 10 Home doesn't have the right pieces as a guest to support the enhanced sessions. That's annoying.

 

@Cliff S -- Yes, all services are checked.

For further info:

• The first VM I created was a Generation 1 running Windows 10 x64. It did not present the connection dialog allowing for screen resolution adjustment or selection of resources.
• The second VM I created was a Generation 2 running Windows 10 Pro x64. It presented the connection dialog and allowed selection of resources. Audio as working.
• I then created a third VM as Generation 2 running Windows 10 x64 to see if the generation made a difference. This one still did not present the connection dialog.

 

I think these pre-requisites are still valid (i.e. you need Pro in the guest as you found).

You might also you need the network (on the guest) to be private not public. Certainly you do for RDC and enhanced session mode is much the same.

 

@Ix07: I agree. For example, When checking on Windows 10, the "Remote Desktop" section is not present under Control Panel > System > Remote nor is there a tsclient found as a Network device, even though the "Remote Desktop Services" is running.








On Win 10 Pro, the "Remote Desktop" section is visible and there is a tsclient Network device.

 

What a major bummer this is. I spent some time configuring my VM before running into this bump in the road. I guess I have no choice but to fork over $100 just to hear audio.

 

Yeah, you could. Or you could donate it to the pope.

Using terms like that (M$, Microshafted and Crapple) just make you look like a small minded cnut though.

Spelling is difficult though I guess.

Here hear hare her, ha ha *Wink
