Sound shuts off on host

[Tyro65]

The sound on my laptop (host) shuts off, yet the sound from the laptop continues to play on my desktop machine (client). I have to manually adjust it on the laptop.

Hi, I assume you are connecting to a Linux server, if so is Wayland or Xorg the display server?
What distro and version is on the server side?
What OS and version is on the Player side?
What NoMachine product and version did you install?
What type of NoMachine session are you starting?
What desktop environment are you connecting to?

What are the steps to reproduce the problem?

After connecting via NoMachine with Windows 11 to Ubuntu 22.04 – the sound disappears on the latter and only works in a NoMachine session with Windows

Hi,

I think that you described the default behavior of sound forwarding. We mute the sound on the server by default while streaming to the client machine. You can optionally adjust it to your needs by going to the session menu -> Audio -> Change settings -> Mute audio on the server. You can also disable sound forwarding completely, either in the session menu or in the server settings (on the server side Settings -> Server settings -> Devices -> Enable audio streaming and microphone forwarding).
