I actually tried this about 4 years ago. I wanted to connect to a Windows Desktop running NVDA or JAWS with a Linux based RDP client. While technically possible, I discovered at the time none of the RDP clients would take the RDP audio stream and route it to Linux audio. So, I gave up when my last attempt with Xrdp failed to try achieving something in the opposite direction. So, I would be interested if you find a way. I've not looked into this any further but I would love to gain screen reader access from remote GUI connections as a lot of software development agile work styles are doing something like this now and I can't participate without a screen reader.

I also have ssh access to a Linux machine on the Microsoft Azure service working. Before I go down the path of trying to get remote desktop access to the GUI, does this actually work. The article at Linux - Microsoft Azure <https://portal.azure.com/#@kellykellford.onmicrosoft.com/resource/subscript ions/968d4c66-18eb-48df-87b5-6d1918a03749/resourceGroups/linux/providers/Mic rosoft.Compute/virtualMachines/linux/connect> has details on what you need to do to connect to the GUI for a machine running on Azure. I am hoping to use the Windows RDP client to connect and just get the Gnome audio. I know it won't be perfect. If this does actually work, does anyone know the syntax to tell the XRDP service on the Linux machine to use Gnome as the desktop session? The article shows this command but it is for a different desktop. Tell xrdp what desktop environment to use when you start your session. Configure xrdp to use xfce as your desktop environment as follows: echo xfce4-session >~/.xsession Restart the xrdp service for the changes to take effect as follows: sudo service xrdp restart Also, thanks for the answers to my other questions here. I haven't contributed much here but will offer one tidbit, on the off chance anyone here is trying to use Microsoft Teams on Linux. You have to start the Linux version of Teams with the additional command line of -force-renderer-accessibility. This instructs Chrome and software using Chromium, to ensure things go through the accessibility API. If you don't, Orca won't read anything when Teams loads. If you do add this, Teams works fairly similar to how it does on other platforms. I know I do not post here often so in full disclosure, my day job is working for Microsoft running a service known as the enterprise Disability Answer Desk that works to resolve accessibility issues for business, government, education and other enterprise customers. I've wanted to understand how our technology works on Linux, where we have it available.
