#189 Rdesktop NO SOUND Windows2008

[Andyal15]

Hi to all,
we didn't get any Sound with rdesktop 1.6 from a MSServer2008 !
rdesktop servername -r sound:local --> works on Server2003 but did not work on Server 2008 !!

MS RDP Client works on both Versions !
Andy Ideas ??
Thanks

I had the same problem.

Try adding a disk resource, too. ("-r disk:tmp=/tmp")

This opens a virtual channel that sound then can use, too.

2008 seems to have changed something in that direction.

Hi Tobias,
excuse me for the late reply (vacation).
Thank you very much for your hint -> IT's WORKING !! THANK YOU VERY MUCH (Andyal15) !!!
Other Question:
Have you ever tryed Rdesktop 1.6 with Session Broker Server 2008 Load Balancing !
I think redirection is not implemented in Rdesktop 1.6 !
Error:
NOT IMPLEMENTED: System pointer message 0x7f00
WARNING: server sent an unexpectedly long string, truncating

If i try it offten enough some time i'm routed to the right server (Round Robin) and Session is OK !

Any Ideas ?
Thanks

rdesktop 1.6.0 with sound support seem working until vista RTM without SP.

Please check this patch:

I've tried this patch and the Server 2008 side does now report a Microsoft RDP Audio Transport Device, although I still don't have sound.

Thank you for this hint!
Now sound is working (rdesktop 1.6.0) with Windows 7 prof.
