Terminal services client question

[thorian]

Ok Guys and Gals

Environment Win2k terminal server Compaq dl360 (second generation) with Neoware Thinclients eon using wince 3.0.
So one dept want to listed to their voice mail through there email using a unified messaging software. Trying to play a wav file over the network results in a error that the audio hardware is not rtesponding or the audio hardware is not there


So my question is 2 fold If I find a PCI 66 Audio card and add it to this server. (Providing the audio hardware) should i be able to play a .wav on the thinclient (they have there own audio onboard) and if so will it only play on the thinclient that opened the wav or will it play on all of them?


Thanks

Thorian

While I cannot offer an answer to your question I do have two suggestions for a more inexpensive way of testing your theory.

Uses your Pc speaker as a WAV sound device, more importantly give software a driver to play to.

Secondly you could install an inexpensive USB Sound Device, that would do the same.



In theory you are on the right track, being that the error you are seeing is coming from the server's inability to reproduce sound.

I'm only familiar with Win2k TS and not the hardware you mention. I thought TS did not allow sounds to be played across a session. I know have opened mpg's and sounds files on our TS that did have a soundcard installed in it and got a message about not having the ability to play sounds since there was no sound device installed.

According to this page you need Citrix to do sound redirection http://www.samspublishing.com/conten...s/A011101.html
