Hello,

I've been using Remote Desktop for some time using Windows XP/PRO as the
server. I was able to play audio off the server at the client machine
with virtually no drop-out or skipping at work. Now that the office has
provided me with a Win2K3 computer, all askpects of Remote Desktop
work perfectly fine except for the audio... I get horrible drop-out and
skipping.

I have a Roadrunner cable connection at home, which is the same I had
before... any ideas why the performance would drop so dramatically? Is
RDP 5.1 more efficient than 5.2 somehow?

If you are local to the RDP 5.2 server, do you see the
same audio dropout?

Ryan,

We have has a similar problem our soultion was to use
citrix, the way ICA handles audio seems to be a lot
better that RDP.
 
The local computer plays audio just fine. Can the audio quality of
RDP be adjusted? With a cable connection that tops out at roughly
128Kbps uplink, perhaps Win2k3 is trying to send higher quality audio?
 
Yeah, that's what I was thinking....

I don't think you can adjust that type of thing. I know
in Citrix you can.

To prove this, try running some performance monitor
counters on the data stream to see what it is doing.
