Audio does not work when connected to a Remote Workstation Card
Audio in/out is not available when the host is a Remote Workstation Card
Use PCoIP Client version 21.07 if audio functionality is required with the Remote Workstation Card.
macOS client only detects audio output device at session start
The macOS client will not detect a change in the audio output device while in session.
Disconnect and reconnect to the session when changing the audio output device.
macOS client may only minimize one display on OS X 10.11
If you launch the PCoIP Software Client in OS X 10.11 and you have not clicked anywhere within the display before using the minimize hot key (Ctrl+Alt+M), the display that has not been used will not be minimized. This does not occur in macOS 10.12 (Sierra) or 10.13 (High Sierra).
Click with the mouse on both displays of the client any time before pressing Ctrl+Alt+M, and both displays will be minimized.
Using an invalid or corrupt branding package crashes client
If the branding package does not match the hash value specified for the branding package, the session client will terminate.
Replace the corrupt branding file or use the correct hash value.
Datalogic barcode scanner cannot be redirected when bridged in macOS
The Datalogic Quickscan QS6500 barcode scanner does not work when the device is bridged.
Do not bridge the device. The device works as expected with the remote host when it is not bridged.
USB keyboards do not work in bridged mode
Keyboards do not work when bridged. This affects both Windows and macOS PCoIP Software Client.
Do not bridge the keyboard. Keyboards function correctly when locally terminated.
Audio input in PCoIP Software Client with PCoIP Remote Workstation Card does not work
When in session with a PCoIP Remote Workstation Card, PCoIP Software Client supports audio out from the host, but not audio into the host.
