I have some Windows 7 running as VM in vSphere 5.0. I need to play the sound on the machine where users are connecting to that VM via RDP, but no sound being re-directed to the remote desktop.
What needs to be done in order to play the sound on Windows 7 VMs over RDP?
thanks in advance.
Hi Rohail,
First of all, make sure there's a soundcard listed in the virtual hardware of the particular VM. If you have that, maybe look at this KB: VMware KB: Enabling sound for Remote Desktop Protocol in a Windows virtual machine
Thanks,
Nick
There is no need for a soundcard in the virtual hardware as NickMarshall9 says.
The remoting technology (in this case RDP) will emulate the soundcard.

We'll there you go... Always good to learn something new!
I don't have the sound card listed on a VM, I followed the below KB but still no sound coming from VM.. tried with diff laptops same result.. anything I am missing?
