Audio Hardware Considerations for a Thin Client (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/5/2010

This topic discusses considerations for audio hardware for a Windows Embedded CE powered thin client.

Audio Hardware Requirements

Although audio output hardware is not required for thin client devices, we recommend it. Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) supports audio playback redirection. This enables a server application to stream audio through either the server audio output hardware or the client audio output hardware.

If audio is supported, the thin client must support the playback of 8-bit, monophonic ("mono"), and pulse-coded modulation-formatted audio files. The following list shows the audio output requirements for a thin client:

  • The thin client device must have a single-channel, 8-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC)
  • The thin client device must have a 22.05 KHz sampling rate

Note

For better results, upgrade to 16 bits per sample and 44.1 KHz sample rate.

For information about audio playback options, see Windows Media Technologies.

For information about how to develop device drivers for a specific type of device, see Windows Embedded CE Drivers.
