I'm on a 100Mb/s LAN and I make a test playing a video from Youtube and the quality of audio is great! I've also tested it on a Win2008Std server on a VMWare ESXi without any audio adapter and works fine too! Many thanks for this post!

Thanks for clarifying that the server needs a sound card for the sound to work over a terminal session. It's good to know. Bill Hi Peter.

Our terminal server is on an IBM blade which doesn't have sound card and it cannot be added. Windows Media Player gives: "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly." I selected in Tools/Options/Devices/Speakers DirectSound: Microsoft RDP Audio Driver (emulated) You definitely need a sound card on the server.

Then it depends on your local computer having a sound card. All the servers that I have used actually have built in sound cards, so although I think that it should work on all servers, I don't currently have a way to test it.
