I think I've read all known articles on this and still cannot get my microphone to be detected in RDS. Please help.

I have applied the following GPOs to my RDS farm:

Enabled "Allow RDP redirection of other supported RemoteFX USB devices"
Enabled "Allow Audio recording redirection"
Enabled "Allow Audio and video playback redirection
I have amended the local registry of my servers:

Computer\HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-TCP\fDisableAudioCapture =0

ALSO:

Desktop Experience is installed.
Windows Audio Service is running
Windows Audio Endpoint Builder Service is running
Using RDP v.10. Settings has "Record from this computer" enabled.

I need Sound and microphone work fine locally.
Sound works fine inside RDS with my headphones.
I just cannot get my microphone to be detected. It just says "No audio devices are installed".

Please can anyone help?

    Hi,

    Do you have RD Session Host (RDSH) Role Service installed, RD licensing mode configured, server pointed to RD Licensing server with installed license(s)? RDSH is required for microphone redirection to work, and your connection must not be an administrative RDP connection.
