Sending microphone input over Remote Desktop 7.0

Sending microphone input over Remote Desktop 7.0

I am using Remote Desktop 7 (the new version that came out with Windows 7) to control a Windows XP Pro machine. I have selected "Record from this computer" in the Remote Audio settings. When I connect to the machine, go to the control panel, open the sound panel, and go to the audio tab, I find that the default sound playback device is "Microsoft RDP Audio Driver". However, there is no default sound recording device.

"When redirecting microphone output over RDP 7.0, it must be sent to another Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate machine. This comment on the Windows 7 blog has more info.

If you'd like to send microphone output to XP over RDP, check out Remote Sound or Sound over RDP. Both solutions are shareware, try before you buy."
