Hyper-V Remote Audio Input - Loud Static Input After a While. Have to Restart Remote Session

Question

This didn't use to be an issue but, recently in Windows 10, I think after one of the Cumulative updates, I started getting static in my Remote Audio Input via Hyper-V after a while. I know this is isolated to the VM because the audio input in the host machine is low or nothing. I can also unplug the Input device and it will still show up as static on the Guest machine.

The only way to fix this is to unplug my Input device. Close the remote session (I don't have to stop the guest machine.) Start the remote session. Close it again. Plug back the input device and start the remote session again. This makes me think its not an issue with Hyper-V itself or the Guest Machine but, the Remote Session Client. (I am using Enhanced Session. I don't think you can have remote audio without enhanced and definitely not dual monitors which I require.)

This wasn't an issue until a certain Windows 10 Update I forgot. I upgraded to Windows 11 just to see if it will fix the issue but, I am also having the issue in Win11.

Sorry, I'm out of ideas on how to continue helping you in this case, but I believe someone else will have a solution for you.

Answer 2

This was attempted before. I have no Available Updates nor Optional Updates. Thanks. This was done on both the Host and Guest machine.

Hi, my name is Anderson Souza, I hope I can help you with your issue.

First, it is important to ensure that all available updates for Windows are installed. To do this go to Start > Settings > Update and Security > Check for updates.

Apply all available updates.

On that same screen, you will see "Show optional updates", in this option you can mark optional driver updates, as the system is showing this instability, updating these drivers can help too.

Please, run these procedures on both, local and remote computers.
