Windows 10: Video from remote Desktop works but No Audio inputs are available.

I am trying to put together a troubleshooting device to monitor remote radio sites. I have an older laptop with windows 10 projust upgraded from home, that I want to be able to set in a remote radio shack. I have Audacity installed and have cables built to connect my laptop to the 2 way radio so I can listen and record the audio for a later time. I have tested the cabling locally and everything seems to work properly.


But when I connect to the laptop using remote desktop, or TightVNC, the mic inputmy radio cable doesn't show up as an input. The Line-in or Mic selection window does pop up when I plug the cable in, just like it does when I am on the laptop locally. But it doesn't show up any other way, in any software or pc setting when connecting remotely. I have searched several forums and community posts that had similar issues but I haven't found any solution that wasn't backwards to my situation. People want to use a local mic to skype through their work desktop or something like that, there's an option for record local audio that allows that. I am looking for info on allowing audio inputs on the remote desktop to be used during the remote desktop session.


I purchased a webcam for the device so I could see the radio transmittingred lights and possible audio from local radio speaker, and the camera works through the Remote desktop session, but again no audio input devices are foundincluding webcam mic. If I am on the "test laptop" locally everything shows up. Is there a check box or security setting somewhere on the "test laptop" computer that I need to check to allow it's audio inputs to be used during a remote session?


This laptop will be on a LAN and not connected to the outside world at any point so I am not worried about hackers listening, but Iand others on the LAN want to listen.

Remote device doesn’t detect audio input

The problem that the audio input of my laptop is not visible by the remote computer. I did troubleshooting steps such as checked settings, group policy, remote desktop services. No problem. But it remote audio device isn’t picking up input from my
mic.

Remote Desktop Update: audio stop working

Since last update (yesterday) of Remote Desktop Client app in Windows 10, the audio on remote stop working.

All were working fine until today . Today the audio icon shows a red X and the message "no audio devices are installed" appears.

Is it a known issue?

My settings in RDP client are:

Audio Playback: Play on remote

Audio Recording: Activated

PS: The audio behaviour is normal when I use the laptop directly (not via Remote Desktop).

Thanks.
