However if --enable-load_pulse_modules is not used, then you need to edit /etc/pulse/default.pa and insert the following two lines into it: load-module module-xrdp-sink load-module module-xrdp-source -------------------------------------- To test sound/microphone redirection -------------------------------------- o install gnome sound recorder or your favorite sound recorder o mplayer -ao pulse
