    I have a physical Windows 10 NoMachine server and an Ubuntu 20.04 NoMachine client. Both server and client are on NoMachine version 6.11.2. These are connected over LAN. I do not receive any audio on my linux client. Audio streaming is enabled on both platforms. When I connect, the Windows machine switches audio devices to something labeled “Headphones (Oculus Virtual Audio Device)”. I have tried switching to every single other audio device in the windows audio menu. I receive audio through speakers connected directly to the server when the device is selected. However, none of the audio devices produce sound on the client side. I have absolutely no idea why this is, and I have checked dozens of forum posts to no avail. Please help. Thank you.

    Hi,

    When you connect to the Windows machine, NoMachine will take default output device and read audio stream from this device to transmit it to the other side. If you want to change it, you have to close the session, switch to another sound device and then connect again via NoMachine. Based on this information, can you set speakers as the default output device and then connect to the server?

    You can also check if the “exclusive mode” is not enabled for this device:

    1. Open Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound and select the Playback tab.
    2. Select correct device from the list and click Properties.
    3. Go to Advanced tab and ensure that options in “Exclusive Mode” are disabled.
