Audacity doesn't work reliably over a network. It doesn't understand network negotiation and delays. It's best to run it entirely on one computer.

I've tested this on a Windows 7 Laptop which is on the network and works fine, but i guess it doesn't like the delay when recording sound through the Microphone plugged into the thin client?

Re: Cannot Record - Windows Server 2012 R2
It usually isn't the delay. It's that the delay changes. Packet switching is not a constant stream of data. It has fits and starts and that creates problems with any software that doesn't understand them. You can get interface software that evens out the erratic arrivals, but that usually creates production delays.

Audacity Is installed Into A Shared Drive and a shortcut to it on the start menu of the Pupil Logins. If i install audacity on the two Local VM's i have would that make a difference?
Re: Cannot Record - Windows Server 2012 R2
Audacity is designed to run on a local computer.
If the VMs are installed locally and use a local hard drive, then it may work, but running programs in VMs take a performance hit and may not run fast enough to record/playback smoothly without distortion.

Did you try https://www.audinate.com/products/softw ... -soundcard? I thought it might be a solution. Audacity supports WDM.Plaaard wrote:VM'S are installed using Hyper-V which is installed locally on a Server 2012 R2 Server. Guessing there is nothing i can do then
