Remote Desktop Error

danlynn · 19th April 2006, 07:03

I have been using remote desktop to listen to winamp at work for months now. Suddenly, I get a Direct Sound error when I try. It still works locally. If I try to do dxdiag from home, everything tests fine. If I do it from work, it immidiately says there is a failure at step 3.

Any ideas?

As far as Winamp is concerned, some users have noticed various issues when playing Winamp on a remote desktop with Fast User Switching on...

Found the problem. Apparently, it was an issue with the sound drivers on the computer I was Remote Desktoping from.
