Intention: Windows Server 2003 should play audio files through sound card line out (Creative Soundblaster Live), audio will get broadcasted by an fm sender (which is working properly, not part of the problem) The sound card has just been put on that machine, and we don't have physical access, only rdp & ssh Sound started via ssh works, but is overmodulated - and there's the problem. I cannot configure the sound settings inside a terminal connection due to that emulated rdp sound driver taking control (tried all of the three audiomodes). Is there any chance modifying the real sound card settings via rdp? Or, at least, a command line tool for changing volume and speaker settings? Thanks for every hint, Fabian Follow up to microsoft.public.windowsnt.terminalserver.misc
