[SOLVED] No audio input device when RDP'ing into Win7 VM

[firobad66]

My Win7 VM doesn't show any audio input device when connecting over rdp to it - audio output works flawlessly (device in device manager: remote audio)
The Win10 VM works fine in this respect (it has an audio input device when connecting to it via rdp)

I tried to login from arch client laptop with remmina and also with a native win7 computer over mstsc.exe - so its independent from the client. The remmina client to Win10 works fine.

Audio input works if I use SPICE and add an audio device to it, however I dont want to use spice as its a bit laggy with regards to keyboard input and I prefer remmina over it.

The Win7 VM has SP1 if that matters. I have googled around but mostly people don't have audio at all and applied a high number of windows internal solutions (gpedit, regedit) etc and audio capture is enabled on all those configs...

I have installed spice-guest-tools-0.141 on the Win7 and also qemu-ga-x64

I don't have any idea how to debug this.... anyone has a hint for me?

I believe the problem is within Win7 itself. In a Microsoft Thread I have found this:

Windows 7 Professional doesn't support Remote audio recording, like Home, Home Premium, etc. Only Ultimate and Enterprise supports this feature (as host). (Unfortunately it seems to be undocumented. Thanks MS!)

so nothing to do with the good old proxmox
