Hi, I apologize if this is not the place for this (if not please direct me where to) but I am in need of some advice for LAN RDP solution. These will be used in recording studios to minimize noise. The configuration goes like this; there are two different computers being remoted into over the LAN. In the studio are three monitors, two of them are used for one RDP session while third for the second tower. I initially had some trouble with Multi-mon until I checked the MS Learn rdp page. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/mstsc
The problems start occurring when recording audio to Adobe Audition (I think that's the name of the product). Initially the sound card wouldn't show up until I set the audio flag to 1 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/rdp-properties#device-redirection. One of the things done in the user's workflow is to capture audio from the browser into the Adobe product which also wasn't initially working until I checked "Release Audio Driver to the Background" in the settings menu. However, this only works in Edge not even Chrome can do that surprisingly. And even then, it's not consistent, there are some weird things the user has to with which program's window is active. In the same vein of the issue, the fixes I just described only work on towers with a dedicated soundcard. Another employee installed something called Virtual audio cable (https://vb-audio.com/Cable/index.htm). Unfortunately, I wasn't around at this time to see what problem it solved and how. And furthermore, I've a single complaint about program windows not showing up on one of the remote computers. Not sure if that is a result of their RDP session not being an administrative one (that's my first guess). I haven't been able to observe this myself, so I don't have any details, and my emails aren't being returned.
Prior to my attempt at an RDP solution, we were using Dell Wyse thin clients and Teradici gpus. This equipment is fairly old, failing consistently now and also very expensive to replace. I'm open to all suggestions though, I've been sort of eyeing VNC but I'm unsure of how it interacts with audio recording and multi monitor sessions. Sorry for the wall of text and thanks to any who reply.
Everything is on Windows, I did initially try to run Fedora Kionite but the freeRDP didn't seem to have the level of device redirection as Windows. I'm using the built-in Windows RDP solution to do this at the moment. Essentially all the audio equipment soundboards, mic, etc are connected back to the remote computer via CAT5/6 cable so the thinclient is there to allow them to control the remote computers and keep noise out of the studio. I appreciate your response.
