I was using Microsoft Remote Desktop on a Microsoft Windows 7 machine to remotely control an other Windows 7 machine an I was running Skype on the remote machine. There was coming sound through the boxes of the local machine, but the microphone was not recorded even when the settings of the Local Resources where: Remote audio playback [Play on this computer] and Remote audio recording [Record from this computer].
The problem was found in the control panel > sound > recording > Select a recording device below to modify its settings:
this list was empty.
Solution
After setting the registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\fDisableAudioCapture] to [0] on the remote machine and reconnecting the problem was solved.

My remote pc (Win7) already has that [0] setting in the registry. I also had the capture audio from this computer selected. No joy. I’d much rather find a button to push rather than rely on a software purchase. http://www.sound-over-rdp.com/purchase.html Any ideas?
Nope the [0] setting fixed my problem, sorry.
The [0] setting fixed my problem, too. Thanks!
my setting was 0 already but i changed it anyway and it worked after that. cantsay whether was the fix i had tried some other stuff too, sorry

Hello
Is ther also a way to enable Video (my Webcam) in a remote desktop session (win7 win7)?
The audio redirection works fine!
Kind regards

Which version of Windows 7 do you have?
Pro version has restricted remote audio capture and cannot be enabled by setting to 0 that key of reg described. In my system of Pro version I cannot see any capture devices in audio recording list on remote machine anyway.

Is there any workaround?
I already tried with audio redirection in editing group policy, but it doesn’t work.

Worked for me too. Thanks Roel!!!!
Already set to zero and wasn’t working. Changed the value to 1 and changed it back to zero and this corrected the issue remote microphone audio working now.
