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.

    • UK planning measures to stop illegal content from going viral by Usama Jawad Image via Pixabay A few days ago, we learned that the UK's digital regulator Ofcom has mandated adult websites like Pornhub to put robust age check mechanisms in place to ensure that age-inappropriate content like pornography is not readily available to minors. Now, the government-approved authority has set its sights on a new target. According to an announcement on its website, Ofcom is now holding a consultation period for a set of measures it is proposing to curb the spread of illegal content online. These methods are a part of Ofcom's "Year of Action" initiative, where the regulator is taking decisive practical actions to ensure the online safety of the UK's citizens. Ofcom is proposing the implementation of better recommender systems and crisis response protocols to restrict illegal content from going viral online. In addition, it has also proposed the utilization of proactive mechanisms like hash checks for illegal images to nip the problem in the bud and not even allow any such visual content to be published online. Furthermore, the regulator will be asking tech firms and social media platform owners to leverage artificial intelligence systems in order to detect content like fraud and suicide. People who regularly engage in the practice of publication of illegal content online will also be punished with new sanctions. Lastly, Ofcom wants to build upon its existing child protection codes and capabilities online. It is planning to do this by placing restrictions on interactions between minors and streamers during livestreams. It will urge website owners to block users who share child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and is also proposing the development of AI tools to detect grooming activities and CSAM. The consultation period is open until 5pm on October 20, 2025. Ofcom is soliciting feedback from "service providers", law enforcement authorities, and the public until that deadline to finalize its proposal.
    • What are you talking about? I have had 4 Samsung fold devices and they all have the crease. It is not as noticable when facing straight on but its still noticable.
    • Well they would be right 90% of the time.
    • It didn't help but it certainly wasn't the cause.
