K12Linux xfreerdp and Windows Server 2008

[Radek Bursztynowski]

Hello,

I have some problem with sound using xfreerdp with Windows Server 2008.

In lts.conf I defined:

SCREEN_05 = "xfreerdp -f -k pl -a 16 --plugin rdpsnd 192.168.0.189"

where 192.168.0.189 is Windows Server 2008.

When I log in to the Windows Server 2008 using xfreerdp I can see red
sound icon with the information that "No Audio Output Devices is
installed".

The same configuration with Windows 7 plays the sound.

Please advice me, what I should to do to solve it.

Best regards,
Radek

Hi Radek,

Are you sure your Windows 2008 server actually has a sound chip/card
onboard?
Do you get sound standing at the console of this server will tell you?

Barry,

Many thanks for reply. This night I solved my problem which follows my
ignorance of MS Windows Server.

There are two steps to fix this problem:

1. Switch on audio device in Windows Server 2008 (by default is switched
off - I didn't expect it!).

2. Execute the instruction:

Now I try to connect USB device to LTSP thin client with xfreerdp with
no success. I am going to post it in the separated mail with adequate
subject.

Best regards,
Radek
