I am using a server called freeNX. The remote desktop works great except there is no sound on the remote session. I looked into this and found out that freeNX uses ESD to transfer sound through the session. But ESD has been replaced with pulsaudio on Ubuntu. I don't want to used ESD. I want to use Pulsaidio (as this is now used instead). If you want to install PulseAudio on Windows, see http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/WindowsSupport. Enable module-native-protocol-tcp with arguments that allow your Linux PC to connect. http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/Modules#module-native-protocol-unixtcp If you then set the PULSE_SERVER environment variable to the name/IP of your Windows PC, all applications should connect to that computer for playing sound. > This is the most useful information I have on getting sound through freeNX, if you can help or have any idea how this could be achieved through pulsaudio please let me know. > > What should I do to play sound inside my NX session? > http://www.nomachine.com/ar/view.php?ar_id=AR03D00355 > > How to enable ESD sound support on Linux distributions not shipping > the Enlightened Sound Daemon > http://www.nomachine.com/ar/view.php?ar_id=AR11E00491 If NX only has ESD, that means it is crappy and outdated. You can try to make it work without installing pulse on the windows box by using http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/Modules#module-esound-sink on the Linux side. > Thanks again. > > Regards > Amgad Yousif Maarten > -----Original Message----- > From: Maarten Bosmans [mailto:mkbosmans at gmail.com] > Sent: 27 March 2011 19:54 > To: General PulseAudio Discussion > Cc: Daniel Mack; Yousif, Amgad (UK) > Subject: Re: [pulseaudio-discuss] Help with pulsaudio > > ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?*** WARNING *** > > ?This message has originated outside your organisation, > ?either from an external partner or the Global Internet. > ? ? ?Keep this in mind if you answer this message. > > > 2011/3/27 Daniel Mack <zonque at gmail.com>: >> On Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 6:39 PM, Yousif, Amgad (UK) >> <Amgad.Yousif at baesystems.com> wrote: >>> Hi >>> >>> I wanted some help with using pulsaudio to getting sound from a >>> server machine to a client machine.
