Why No Audio File Can Be Properly Played on My Windows ECS Logged In Using VNC?¶
Symptom¶
When I logged in to my Windows ECS using MSTSC, audio files can be properly played. However, when I logged in to that ECS using VNC, audio files failed to be played.
Possible Causes¶
VNC does not support audio playing.

Use your local PC (running Windows 7, for example) to play the audio files.
Start your local PC.
Note
Start your local PC, instead of logging in to your Windows ECS.
Press Win+R to start the Run text box.
Enter mstsc and click OK.
The Remote Desktop Connection window is displayed.
