Re: [openthinclient-user] No sound on OTC
Did you enable sound on the (terminal)server side? Configure the Firefox application for the thinclient natively and test the sound e.g. with youtube. Alexander Stecher Dipl.-Ing.

Re: [openthinclient-user] No sound on OTC
Thanks for the response. I did a poor job of explaining. I bought the hp clients just yesterday. They were admin locked and as of my post I had not been able to get into the thinconnect settings to be able to use thinconnect. However, I did PXE boot them to OTC. Subsequently I was able to just flash the devices back to a defaullt state. So, with thinconnect I have audioand video. With OTC I have video only, but the video streams much better than with thinconnect. Most of the training we stream is really audio with some graphics. This makes the thinconnect an option. That said, I would prefer to use OTC. So, I still would like to find oht why I dont have audio with OTC. Thanks again for the response.

Re: [openthinclient-user] No sound on OTC
Thanks for the response. I do have all of those set appropriately. Audio is maxed. Remote audio is enabled, it lets you know in the mixer when it is not and the rdesktop is set to audio=yes. I assume it is something simple and stupid since I have tried multiple hardware types. I will keep going through iterations. If I find a fix I will report back.

Re: [openthinclient-user] No sound on OTC
Just two Last ideas. Audio is turned on in BIOS? Have a Look at dmesg. Could be an Problem with Audio drivers Julian Sent from iPhone Am 18.01.2013 um 18:04 schrieb Brett brett8...@gmail.com: Thanks for the response. I do have all of those set appropriately.
