Enabling Audio and its Properties

Audio settings can be enabled from the Management Console by configuring the appropriate properties in the ZERO CLIENT and HARD HOST profiles. Audio properties differ slightly between the Zero Client and Hard Host profiles.

The parent property, Enable Audio, must be enabled to enable or disable its child properties. All child properties must be disabled before Enable Audio can be disabled. This property can be configured through the Enable Audio setting in both Client and Host profiles.

The following are the child properties of Enable Audio for Zero Client and Hard Host.

Enable Audio dependent properties for Zero Client:

  • Enable Local USB Audio Driver
  • Enable Dual Audio Output
  • Enable Opus Audio Codec
  • Enable Analog Audio Input

Enable Audio dependent properties for Hard Host:

  • Enable Audio Line In

To enable audio input features, follow these steps:

  1. Do one of the following steps:

    • To create a new profile, click PROFILE > NEW PROFILE.
    • To edit an existing profile, select a profile, and then click EDIT.

  2. Click Session.

  3. Setting Audio Input Properties:

    1. Setting Audio Input Properties for Clients (Dual/Quad):

      • Ensure that Enable Audio is set to Enabled before enabling/disabling Enable Local USB Audio Driver, Enable Opus Audio Codec and Enable Analog Audio Input.

      • Ensure that both Enable Audio and Enable Local USB Audio Driver are set to Enabled before enabling/disabling Enable Dual Audio Output.

    2. Setting Audio Input Properties for Hard Host (Dual/Quad):

      • Ensure that Enable Audio is set to Enabled before enabling/disabling Enable Audio Line In.

Note: Applying Profiles Created in Earlier Versions

  • If a profile is created in version earlier than 23.12.2 for Zero Clients running firmware 23.12.x and with Enable Audio disabled, while applying this profile in version 23.12.2 and later, ensure that Enable Analog Audio Input is disabled.

  • If a profile was created using an MC version earlier than 25.06 with Enable Audio disabled, but any of the following child properties were enabled:

    • Enable Local USB Audio Driver
    • Enable Dual Audio Output
    • Enable Opus Audio Codec
    • Enable Audio Line In

    When applying the same profile in MC 25.06 or later versions, ensure that these properties are manually disabled.
