Linux VM has no audio when connecting with windows RDP

[KingTChoka]

Hello, I have a Linux Mint VM running `xrdp` as a server, and I'm connecting to it with my windows pc using RDP. I cannot seem to get audio working though.
I've tried setting my RDP audio settings to output to local but still no luck. In my VM the only audio options was 'dummy audio'.
Any ideas hints or ideas? I've tried googling but it wasn't much help.

Thanks!

Sound is broken after SPICE Windows client version 7. There is more information in this thread.

EDIT: Oops, I did not read the question carefully enough. Sorry.

But I don't think I'm using SPICE Window client, just the regular Windows RDP client.

I thought xrandr was a tool for configuring your screen. I didn't know it could act as an RDP server. Usually you use xrdp for that, or one of the various utilities that work with a logged-in session. Basic problem is that X does not know about audio, so you need something separate. Spice is one option, another, if you are actually using xrdp is this:

Xrdp acts like a Windows Terminal Server, where you don't have to be logged in on the PC to connect to the screen.

ETA: Your session needs to be set up to start a pulseaudio server for this to work.

You're right, I meant 'xrdp' I'm sorry (fixed above)
