Audio Support
Stereo audio output and mono audio input are supported and enabled by default.
During a session, the host's default audio device is changed to Teradici Virtual Audio Driver. When the session is disconnected, the audio device selection reverts to its previous setting.
Note: Applications must use the system default device
The Anyware agent delivers audio over PCoIP connections by reassigning the system's default audio device. Only applications that use the system default audio device will send or receive audio over PCoIP.
Note: Volume is set to full when the Anyware agent is installed
When the Anyware agent is installed, the system volume is reset to maximum. Test the volume level before use.

Enabling Multi-Channel Audio
To use multi-channel audio in a PCoIP session, the client Mac must be connected to a multi-channel audio device that is set as the system default. When a configured client establishes a PCoIP connection, the Graphics Agent for Windows will automatically detect the multi-channel system.
See the Anyware Software Client for macOS Administrators' Guide for setup instructions.
