Hi,
I have a scenario where I need to have different audio outputs for different programs on an AVD host
Browser audio should be heard on my local client speakers and other software (teams for example) audio should be heard on my local client speakers
Is this type of configuration possible?
I saw these forum threads but they didn't answer this question:

Thanks,

To configure audio redirection settings, follow these steps:
- Open the Remote Desktop client on your local client machine.
- Click on "Show Options" to expand the settings.
- Go to the "Local Resources" tab.
- Under "Remote audio", select "Settings".
- In the "Remote Audio Playback" section, select "Play on this computer".
- In the "Remote Audio Recording" section, select "Do not record".
- Click "OK" to save the settings.
With these settings, audio from the AVD host will be played on your local client speakers. You can also configure audio redirection settings for specific programs by using RemoteApp and Desktop Connections.
To configure audio redirection settings for specific programs, follow these steps:
- Open RemoteApp and Desktop Connections on your local client machine.
- Click on "Access RemoteApp and desktops".
- Right-click on the program you want to configure and select "Edit properties".
- Go to the "Local Resources" tab.
- Under "Remote audio", select "Settings".
- In the "Remote Audio Playback" section, select "Play on this computer".
- In the "Remote Audio Recording" section, select "Do not record".
- Click "OK" to save the settings.
With these settings, audio from the specific program will be played on your local client speakers.
