Hello, I have a desktop machine at work (Windows 10) and currently successfully able to Remote Desktop into it via my home laptop (Windows 7).

But notice I can't hear audio when I try to play like youtube tutorial clips, webex meetings, etc... within my RDP session from my home laptop I just see the videos. (I can play youtube clips, webex, etc... directly from my home laptop outside of RDP session.)

Can anyone provide guidance how I can hear related media audio within RDP?

(Strange because I can hear basic sounds within work RDP session like Outlook new incoming emails, popup messages, volume adjustment in system tray, etc...but looks like not within media related like youtube, webex, etc...)

BTW I do have my headphones physically plugged in at my work desktop location if that has any affect to this.

Thanks in advance.
 


Strange actually my original post is in reference I'm using FireFox within my RDP session can't hear youtube clips sound but when I use different browser like Chrome or Edge it does work.

Guess it's some FireFox setting.
 


Why not just play the media on your home system, doesn't make sense to do that from the RDP session. Also I hope your work has that RDP access secured through some solution and not RDP exposed to the internet. That's just asking for a compromised network.
 


Yes it's via through VPN so it is secured.

Just trying to separate work related from my personal home environment.

Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
