Can you hear audio from local computer on remote desktop computer?

I guess what I wanted to know was whether Windows remote desktop connection alone transmits sounds from my local machine to my remote machine (my work machine), not the other way around.

So you have a remote desktop session from your home machine to your work machine and you want to know if you can hear your home machine while you're logged in locally to your work machine while that session is up? In which case, the answer is no. But if you were to do a remote desktop session from your work machine to your home machine, you could.

LOL but the OP didn't say he wants to bring the whole desktop to the remote PC including the display, and redirected drives and log out that user account on the host. RDP is appropriate for that.

Why would you need to do this? You want the PC you're sitting at to pipe its audio to the computer you're remoting into? I can't even begin to see the point...

He didn't mention that he didn't want to bring the whole desktop over, he did ask if it supported being able to bring audio over. Unless I am reading this wrong.

    • We now know why Nvidia blocked yet another review, the new RTX 5050 is apparently terrible by Sayan Sen With its latest RTX 5000 series of GPUs, Nvidia has not been transparent with how its cards perform. The company did not ship review drivers for the RTX 5060 on launch day and has repeated the same deed with the new RTX 5050 as well. For those who may not have followed, Nvidia unveiled the GeForce RTX 5050 last month for $249 and released the Game Ready driver for the card this month with version 576.88. As such, the RTX 5050 has now been tested by Korean site Quasar Zone where the GPU has been compared against other cards that are priced around that same bracket. The site has found that Nvidia's new entry-level offering is worse than Intel's Arc B580, a card that launched around six months ago for the same price. As you can see in the image above, the Arc B580 was slightly faster on average. The biggest gap between the two was on Path of Exile 2. Another point in favor of the Arc GPU is that it has 12 Gigs of video memory whereas the RTX 5050 only has 8 GB. The 5050 was also pitted against Nvidia's last gen RTX 4060 as well as AMD's RX 7600, both of which are also 8 Gig cards. The 7600 is often found at around $250 these days while the RTX 4060 frequents around $275. The RTX 5050 is essentially neck and neck with the 4060 and is ever so slightly faster than the RX 7600. Once again this just highlights that Nvidia is essentially giving the same kind of performance that Intel and AMD GPUs have provided since last year or so. In fact, if we consider the Radeon RX 6600 and 6650 XT GPUs, which have been available for around $180 to $220 in the past, it becomes clearer just how bad of a value the RTX 5050 is as those 6000 series AMD cards probably get pretty close to the 5050 in rasterization throughput. Chances of something like "Fine Wine" are also slim given that the RTX 5050 just does not seem to have the hardware resources to pull off something like that later in this lifespan. If anything, we are more likely to see that happen from the Intel B580 GPU or AMD's $299 RX 9060 (there is already evidence of that). Source and images: Quasar Zone
