Remote control with audio?

[scottyjohn]

Hi all,
I have a problem where I need to remotely access a desktop and have the audio / microphone audio passed from the far end machine to my desktop. I thought that perhaps PC Anywhere would have that functionality but it appears not. Does anyone have an idea of software which can do this?

Any Reason you don't use Windows own Remote Desktop? It actually has a specific setting for Remote Computer Sound, and one of the options is "Bring to This computer".

Hi Phil,
Yes we have that enabled and can get sound back from the host, but just cant get any microphone audio. We are testing a sip phone on the remote server and it doesnt recognise any audio devices.

I'm confused.
The server doesn't recognize any audio devices? Perhaps you have to install drivers on the server for the phone? Which would mean this is not a Remote issue, but rather a phone installation issue.

Normally Microphone audio is muted by default so as to avoid feedback loops. Have you gone into the remote machine's audio settings, and set the microphone to not be muted?
