Remote Desktop Connection

Hi all,

I'm using Windows 10 Pro on both computers. I've enabled Remote Desktop and can see both computers on the Windows Network.

I've setup and can log into the computer connected to the Flex 5000a. Both computers are in the same room and on the same network (for now)

1: If PowerSDR is running before I remote log in EVERYTHING works correctly. I can pass audio to AND from the Flex5000a. I TX by using the Space-Bar

2: If PowerSDR is NOT running when I remote log in and I double click on the icon the make it start; PowerSDR starts to load but crashes at "Initializing PortAudio"

Anyone got any ideas please ?

Thanks

Mick

If PowerSDR cannot find at least one Sound Playback and one Sound Recording device available for use, it will crash.

I do remember "Remote Desktop" had some quirks related to audio and also multiple monitors (caused issues)

Have you downloaded and installed VB-Cable, or voicemeeter Banana, or some other Virtual audio cable(s)?
I have both VB-Cable and Voicemeeter Banana drivers

Open your windows control panel->SOUND and you will see those VAC cables listed for both "playback" and "recording" devices.

Its best to use the virtual audio cables to exchange audio between computers.

I have not used "Remote Desktop" in years. I stopped because was wanted the ability to have 2-way audio in one program. So I switched to "Anydesk" (I use the Free version).

Hi Darrin,

Thanks for the reply. I'll give AnyDesk another go.

Ive downloaded VB-Cables, I tried Banana last time and could not get it to work.
