Mic forward from Win11 to Mint

[aleoot]

Hello.

I checked a number of threads but haven’t found/resolved my case.

So, the server is Linux.Mint (22.1 cinnamon), client is Win11. NM latest (8.16.1 atm), free versions.
Audio from the server is being nicely forwarded to the client. Switching between output devices on Mint works fine, and audio switches between client/server:

However, client’s microphone audio is never reaching the server.
I did enable/disable mic in “mic in” options. I’ve tried all combinations of mic options (forward/autodetect, described here: kb.nomachine.com/DT07M00087#6.1). When the mic is enabled, the Win11 client machine shows “Mic in use by: Nomachine Player process”, so it is good.. I guess. Win11 mic is enabled in “privacy settings”, no restrictions for NM.

On Mint audio options, I have two inputs: “Built-in” and “Remapped nx_voice_out” (when client is connected). There is no “NoMachine microphone adapter” (mentioned on some threads) in the list of devices:

When “Remapped mx_voice_out” is selected:
– If unselected, “Built-in” is unmuted — server gets audio from built-in mic.
– If “Built-in” is muted — nothing, silence.
So, Remapped just mirrors the local Built-in microphone. Doesn’t matter which app is used, either browser (with e.g. onlinemictest.com) or “audio recorder” app.

On ‘8 – extensive’ server logs, these are only lines for ‘microphone’:

Any hints where to dig deeper?

Thanks in advance,
Oleg
