thanks a lot but I don't have "/etc/vmware/config" file. and my mics are not USB. do they have to be USB mics for this solution?

the result of this search "find / | grep vmware | grep config"

is "/usr/lib/vmware-installer-horizon/2.1.0/bin/configure-initscript.sh" so if I create the file, would it be OK?

I am currently working on a solution to send microphone audio to the windows through network, and create a virtual line in audio device in windows so I can use network audio as a line in mic. do you have a hint or suggestion for that?

Thanks. that's a sad thing to hear by the way

but why audio output streaming is working fine?

forgot to say that: I am using PCOIP protocol

mic - microphone problem in linux client

allo0osh — Wed, 13 Jan 2021 11:39:04 GMT

I am using vmware horizon client on a linux based Arm device. everything works fine and smooth, but microphone is not redirecting to server.

details:

installed horizon client 2006 and the new version, 2012, on linux and the server is windows 7. I am using alsa sound in linux. I installed the multimedia redirection and RTAV for my client. I enabled mic. when it is not connected to server, "arecored" (for recording sound) and "aplay" (for playing sound) are working fine. I can record and play song with them so the OS does not have a problem with my audio device. when I connect to server, the sound stream is nice, aplay on linux does not work (error: "audio open error : Device or resource busy") and that's fine because the vmware-view is using the sound server and I can play from my windows server and I have the stream. but "arecord" works. means that vmware-view is not using the microphone, and is not redirecting the mic to the server.

for test, I installed vmware horizon client on a linux mint 20 both with ".bundle file" and "tar archive" on my laptop, and no difference. mic is not working on windows server. and the mic is working fine inside the linux mint.

for another test, installed vmware horizon client on a windows 10 on another laptop, and microphone works nice and smooth on the server. so I assumed this is not a problem with my server and its dependencies or restrictions or policies.

does anyone know how to solve this problem?
