REMOTE DESKTOP MAC APP: How to set audio sample rate on my remote Windows computer?

Question

Hi,

I remotely connect a Mac (host) to a Windows computer using Microsoft Remote Desktop Beta (latest version). PC is used for professional audio production, so higher audio sampling rates or customized audio settings are required. Unfortunately, the audio output of the controlled Windows computer seems to be locked to "remote audio" and it does not support changing any audio settings. My NVIDIA High Definition Audio and ASIO or Realtek Audio drivers have been updated, but Remote Audio still occupies the audio output. Disabling Remote Audio in the Audio Input/Output options in Computer Management does not work.

Is there any way to customize the audio settings of Remote Audio, or disable Remote Audio completely to choose my audio output?

Thanks,

Yunjie Zhang
