Re: [Xen-users] Sound Driver

["Nick Couchman" <Nick.Couchman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Aside from what Russ mentioned about making sure the client is configured 
correctly, there's nothing special to do to get this working.  Note that 
options in the client don't normally apply to all systems - Windows attempts to 
remember settings on a per-server basis, which means if you change that 
setting, then switch to a different server (target) on the RDP client, you may 
need to go change the setting, again.
