No sound over Remote Desktop Connection to SBS server

[Billie]

I have got a SBS server that I should use to connect to via RDC and recieve sound on the connecting PC. I have installed a cheap sound card on the server hoping that it will get the sound working and even after installing the drivers fine and getting the sound working on the actual server, but the sound over the RDC sill wont work. After I am loading the DXDiag at the time of the remote session and open the sound tab, then it will give me the below error message:

Can you please tell us what is it that you need to hear from the server? I think that you are doing it not properly, when you are trying to set the SBS server as media server and then listen or view over a rdp session. Did you noticed the checkbox somewhere about sound, which might be under advanced settings on the connect screen.

If you try to make RWW connections then ensure that they check the Private Computer button at the first logon screen, it might alleviate the disconnection problem. You can also try https://secure.logmein.com/products/pro/ which also comes for a free trial and will let you check out whether it will solve the disconnection problem.
