View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a Windows Server 2008 R2-based computer that has the Remote Desktop Services role installed.
  • On a client computer, you enable remote audio playback for a remote desktop connection. To do this, start Remote Desktop Connection, click Show Options, select the Local Resources tab, click Settings in the Remote audio section, select Play on remote computer in the Remote audio playback section, and then click OK.
  • You use Remote Desktop Connection to establish a connection to the server from the client computer.

In this situation, no local audio device is assigned to the session.

Note On a Windows Server 2003-based terminal server, you can see and use the audio device that located on the server during the remote session.

File information

The global version of this hotfix installs files that have the attributes that are listed in the following tables. The dates and the times for these files are listed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The dates and the times for these files on your local computer are displayed in your local time together with your current daylight saving time (DST) bias. Additionally, the dates and the times may change when you perform certain operations on the files.
Windows Server 2008 R2 file information notes
Important Windows 7 hotfixes and Windows Server 2008 R2 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, hotfixes on the Hotfix Request page are listed under both operating systems. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.
  • The files that apply to a specific product, milestone (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:
    VersionProductMilestoneService branch
    6.1.760
    0.16xxx    		Windows Server 2008 R2RTMGDR
    6.1.760
    0.20xxx    		Windows Server 2008 R2RTMLDR
    6.1.760
    1.17xxx    		Windows Server 2008 R2SP1GDR
    6.1.760
    1.22xxx    		Windows Server 2008 R2SP1LDR
  • GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.
  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows Server 2008 R2" section. MANIFEST files and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are extremely important to maintain the state of the updated components. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
