Bidirectional sound with view 5

[fedellamosas]

just I wanna know if it can be possible.. i've been reading about that but i'm still no sure.. So i need your help to tell me if that works!!

I want to  try with Thin Clients.

Yes, that works fine provided you have speakers and a microphone with USB. (But do not confuse bidirectional sound with VOIP-applications)

Sorry i made a bad question, i need to try with VOIP apps, Like softphone and others..

It CAN work in a controlled enviroment with plenty of bandwith and low number of users per host, see this kb:

The problem is usually scaling and latency incurred on the voice-stream. But you can probably get it to work in a LAN-enviroment with 10-15 users per host.

There has been some progress toghether with some of the major VOIP vendors, have a look here for more info:

Also, if you want bidirectional to work good (and you have a choice) use the analog ports, not USB.  Analog has a high priority in the PCoIP stream so it just sounds a ton better. 

Also, use the Teradici Audio Driver.

I use Skype via View everyday and it works great.

Good one, and by defaults works good with vmware view 5 or need some kind of extra configuration to do..

If you have the manual could you send me please!!

Thanks a lot..
