Windows 10: Windows 11 remote desktop audio stops working intermittently after disconnecting and...

I'm connecting to another machine over remote desktop and intermittently after disconnecting and reconnecting remote audio no longer works for any apps, though clicking the volume slider still produces sound. The only fix I've found for this is rebooting the machine I'm connected to. It doesn't happen every time and I've verified the audio settings have remote audio selected.

Windows 10 Remote Desktop Session - Sound stops when disconnect

This was originally asked as a question back in 2016

Redirecting

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?

 

Windows 10 Remote Desktop Session - Sound stops when disconnect

Same problem here.

My scenario:

• I use foobar2000 to play music on the remote PC.
  
• On that remote PC I have installed virtual-audio-capture-grabber-device
  so that I can stream the music with ffmpeg to my own app.
  
• After disconnecting from the remote PC, my music streaming stops.

I have confirmed that the foobar2000 never stop playing. The ffmpeg never stop streaming. It looks like the audio output being suspended while RDP session being disconnected. Maybe there is a new energy-saver policy for device after the anniversary update
of win10?

It had worked many years from XP to the-before-anniversary-updated Win10.

It seems I can't but switch to Chrome desktop.

 

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.
