Re: [openthinclient-user] No sound on OTC

2013-04-13 Thread Stecher, Alexander
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.

Re: [openthinclient-user] No sound on OTC

I was able to add -r sound:local in the OTC Manager.It now shows when I
grep rdesktop. Still no sound. The RDS show "remote sound 100%" and sound
is turned on in OTC. Still no audio. There is no sound setting in the BIOS.

I am revisiting this with a new install. Nothing has changed.

The output of ps ax | grep rdesktop is:

8873 pts/0   S+0:00 grep rdesktop

I do not know how to add the sound:local command. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the response. I do have all of those set appropriately. Audio is

not and the rdesktop is set to audio=yes.

I assume it is something simple and stupid since I have tried multiple

Re: [openthinclient-user] No sound on OTC

2013-01-18 Thread Julian Ohm
Hi Brett,

 

i also had a problem with sound.

 

1.   Do you have enabled remoteaudio?

2.   Do you see remoteaudio enabled and volume set to high in the
rdesktop?

3.   Rdesktop is configured in otc manager to support audio?

 

Open xterm or something like that or change to local console on the client
(using ctrl+alt+f1) get root access (password if not changed 0pen%TC ). Have
a look at the output of “ps –ax | grep rdesktop”

You should see something like that:

[….] /opt/rdesktop/bin/rdesktop –r sound:local

It’s possible that in this line some more arguments are listed. But it’s
important that –r sound:local is on that line

 

Wich Version of otc and rdesktop do you use?

 

Best regards

Mit freundlichem Gruß

Subject: [openthinclient-user] No sound on OTC

 

I am trying to get the sound to work on OTC. I see quite a few posts, very
few resolutions. I previously used 2x TCS, but they have dropped support for
that product and I have no need for application publishing or the more
substantial cost. . 

 

I have installed OTC Server on a Windows Server 2012 HP Proliant G4 and all
seems good, except audio. Sound plays fine from a Win 7 machine RDP to the
server, just not on an OTCclient. The client machines are a mix of old pc's
with a number of Dell GX260's and HP t5520 Thin Clients running HP
Thinconnect. None of them play audio from the remote server.

 

We do need audio for training videos and they all require digital
certificates for each user account on the server. So, I could install one
computer just for watching training videos and have Win OS on it just to
remote to the Server and play training, but I would rather users be able to
have audio.

 

I've read mixed reports on support for sound with OTC. I have enabled sound
in the rdesktop application settings and on the Win server. When playing
audio the mixer on the server shows audio modulation.

 

So, is it possible to play audio with our setup? If so, where should I look
for the problem? Should I purchase TC hardware instead of old pc's? What we
have played audio with 2X TCS, but as mentioned, we don't have that option
now. 

 

Thanks for the help.

Re: [openthinclient-user] No sound on OTC

2013-01-18 Thread Jan Magnusson
Hi Brett,

There must be some misunderstanding on what OTC is supposed to accomplish.

It's basically only a boot server, not a thin client server. It boots your old 
diskless pcs over the network with a Linux (some ancient Ubuntu 6.04 I think) 
version. Then you connect to some separate client server.

You don't need the whole OTC if you got all your clients already running HP 
Thinconnect.

Subject: [openthinclient-user] No sound on OTC

I am trying to get the sound to work on OTC. I see quite a few posts, very few 
resolutions. I previously used 2x TCS, but they have dropped support for that 
product and I have no need for application publishing or the more substantial 
cost. .

I have installed OTC Server on a Windows Server 2012 HP Proliant G4 and all 
seems good, except audio. Sound plays fine from a Win 7 machine RDP to the 
server, just not on an OTCclient. The client machines are a mix of old pc's 
with a number of Dell GX260's and HP t5520 Thin Clients running HP Thinconnect. 
None of them play audio from the remote server.

We do need audio for training videos and they all require digital certificates 
for each user account on the server. So, I could install one computer just for 
watching training videos and have Win OS on it just to remote to the Server and 
play training, but I would rather users be able to have audio.

I've read mixed reports on support for sound with OTC. I have enabled sound in 
the rdesktop application settings and on the Win server. When playing audio the 
mixer on the server shows audio modulation.

So, is it possible to play audio with our setup? If so, where should I look for 
the problem? Should I purchase TC hardware instead of old pc's? What we have 
played audio with 2X TCS, but as mentioned, we don't have that option now.

Thanks for the help.
