Hi all, we are currently experiencing problems playing sound through a RDP connection from VSphere Version 7 XP machines.
VMWare tools is installed on all machines, and has even been reinstalled on most as we thought it could possibly be a corrupt installation of tools. Sound is also enabled in our terminals RDP connection to 'bring audio local' yet whenever we try to play sound in Media Player we get the following error message:
"Windows media player cannot play sound. There is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly"
It is not just media player which cannot play the sounds however, in DXDiag it states there is no sound device installed. Sound will also not work when logged on directly to the console so I can't see this being an issue with the RDP connection we have set up.
Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this problem?
