a partial view of the device manager

These machines are Virtual and I don't have access to the host.

  • Does the server have an audio output device shown in Device Manager? Oct 16, 2019 at 10:40
  • no, it doesn't - as per the picture added to the question now Oct 16, 2019 at 10:46
  • Are these Physical or Virtual? If Physical are you sitting in front of them or connecting remotely. If Virtual are you using VM console or remote desktop?

In Remote Desktop Connection, you need to ensure that Local Resources > Remote Audio > Settings > Remote Audio Playback is set to Play on this computer.

On the server, you need to ensure that audio redirection is not disabled in group policy: Computer > Administrative Templates > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Device and Resource Redirection > Allow audio and video playback redirection.
