Exactly what implementation of VNC Server and Client are you using? This is important because Audio support is not part of the actual VNC (RFB) specification, so the "official client" might implement it using non-standard channels, or a different TCP/UDP port, etc., and getting Guacamole to support that would be difficult, especially if 1) libvncserver doesn't support it, and 2) the mechanism they use isn't well-documented. - What kinds of things have you tried to get it working? With Guacamole, audio in VNC only works by using PulseAudio, which requires forwarding Pulse Audio data between the guacd system and the system running VNC, which requires PulseAudio to be listening on its TCP port and the firewall opened. Have you worked through these things? -Nick >
