By default, Windows virtual machines do not have sound enabled. However, there are a couple of different ways to enable sound:
Easy way:
1. Right-click on the volume icon with the red X in the system tray, then click on Sounds.
2. A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to enable the Windows audio service.
3. Click to accept, then close and re-open your Remote Desktop connection.
Sound should work without further configuration.
If the above doesn't work, you can enable the service manually:
1. Right click on the Start menu icon in the task bar, and click on Computer Management
2. Click on Services and Applications, followed by Services: https://link.cekkent.net/4ccc1068-b877-41c0-b4f7-2cef7abd6606
3. Scroll down to Windows Audio, double click on Windows Audio, and set it to start Automatic, then click the Start button: https://link.cekkent.net/aa3a2e40-af12-4537-8aa5-374d0261a5e9
4. Click OK to close the Windows Audio service box.
5. Close and re-open your Remote Desktop connection.
Sound should work without further configuration.
Two important things to keep in mind:
- After enabling sound via either method, you need to close and re-open your Remote Desktop connection for sound to work.
- Sound does not work in the console provided in the client area.
