The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is built into Windows. It allows remote access of a machine.

I’ve tried connecting to a Proxmox Windows VM from another Windows machine in the same network.

If you don’t have the Remote Desktop Connection app, reinstall it.

To connect to the target server, enter the IP address, username and password.

Audio

If network conditions allow, audio latency is low enough to be unnoticeable if configured correctly. When I tested this while remoting to an RDP server on the same network with a round-trip time of 2ms, I could use a screen reader on the RDP server without any issues; latency was close enough to 0.

Save the remote desktop connection details to a file. Edit the file in notepad and add this line to it at the bottom:

audioqualitymode:i:2

If not specified, the default is a setting of 0, which is dynamic audio quality. This was sometimes giving great results but at other times causing higher audio latency.

Possible values:

  • 0: Dynamic audio quality. This is the default audio quality setting. The server dynamically adjusts audio output quality in response to network conditions and the client and server capabilities.
  • 1: Medium audio quality. The server uses a fixed but compressed format for audio output.
  • 2: High audio quality. The server provides audio output in uncompressed PCM format with lower processing overhead for latency.
