The Windows terminal services do indeed transport audio to RDP clients,
even if the hardware has no audio equipped. And that works if the
Windows server is running as a VM on VMware ESXi. You may have to enable
that functionality server side in the Windows policy settings. And the
RDP client must be capable and configured to play sound locally.
