Audio

Audio Support

Stereo audio output and mono audio input are supported and enabled by default. When an audio device is enabled and used in a session, it is saved as user preferences, and becomes available as the default audio for future sessions.

Audio input devices should not be bridged to the remote session. Audio input devices are locally terminated and utilize local OS audio drivers. A bluetooth headset can be supported locally, but cannot be bridged.
