Using audio redirection with VMware Horizon View If you do not need the audio recording capability, use high-level audio redirection. Audio will play out of the 3.5 mm jack or, by default, a USB headset if it is plugged in. Use the local audio manager to adjust the input/output level, select playback, and capture devices. The VMware Horizon View client does not support high level audio-record redirection via the PCoIP connection type. If you need audio-recording support, use one of the following methods: ● If your system uses VMware Horizon View Client 1.7 or higher, use the RDP protocol to allow for high-level audio redirection through either the 3.5 mm jack or a USB headset. NOTE: To use high-level audio-record redirection through the RDP protocol, the server must support it and be configured to allow audio recording over a remote session. The client must be running Windows 7 or greater. You also must make sure the HKLM\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp \fDisableAudioCapture registry key is set to 0. ● If you have a USB headset with a microphone, use USBR. Set the USB headset to be redirected into the session. The headset will show up as an audio device. By default, USB audio devices are not redirected and the view client uses high-level audio redirection. To redirect the USB headset, use the client's USB Manager and select the USB headset to be redirected. Make sure that VMware Horizon View is selected as the USBR protocol and make sure that the headset is checked under the Devices to be redirected. NOTE: VMware does not recommend using USBR for headsets. A large amount network bandwidth is required to stream audio data over the USBR protocol. Also, you might experience poor audio quality with this method. Using smart card redirection with VMware Horizon View To use a smart card to log in to the VMware Horizon View server: 1. On the HP ThinPro desktop, select Connections. 2. Select an existing connection, and then click Edit. 3. In the Connection Settings dialog box, under General, select Allow smart card login. After starting the connection, the VMware Horizon View client will display a list of server credentials. 4. To unlock the credentials and access the VMware Horizon View Manager server, type the appropriate PIN for the server. NOTE: After you supply the correct PIN, the user's credentials will be used to log in to the VMware Horizon View Manager server. Please see the VMware Horizon View documentation for details on configuring the server to support smart card login. As long as the server is configured to allow smart card login, the user's credentials will pass through and they will be logged in to the desktop without having to enter their PIN again. NOTE: To log in to the VMware Horizon View Manager administrator server with a smart card, the local smart card driver must be installed on the client. Once logged in to the remote host, the smart card will be passed to the remote host using a virtual channel, not USBR This virtual channel redirection makes sure that the smart card can be used for tasks such as email signing, screen locking, and so on, but might cause the smart card to not show as a smart card device in the Windows Device Manager. NOTE: The remote host must have the proper smart card drivers installed. Add 23

Using audio redirection with VMware Horizon View
If you do not need the audio recording capability, use high-level audio redirection. Audio will play out
of the 3.5 mm jack or, by default, a USB headset if it is plugged in. Use the local audio manager to
adjust the input/output level, select playback, and capture devices.
The VMware Horizon View client does not support high level audio-record redirection via the PCoIP
connection type. If you need audio-recording support, use one of the following methods:
●
If your system uses VMware Horizon View Client 1.7 or higher, use the RDP protocol to allow for
high-level audio redirection through either the 3.5 mm jack or a USB headset.
NOTE:
To use high-level audio-record redirection through the RDP protocol, the server must
support it and be configured to allow audio recording over a remote session. The client must be
running Windows 7 or greater. You also must make sure the
HKLM\SYSTEM
\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp
\fDisableAudioCapture
registry key is set to
0
.
●
If you have a USB headset with a microphone, use USBR. Set the USB headset to be redirected
into the session. The headset will show up as an audio device. By default, USB audio devices
are not redirected and the view client uses high-level audio redirection. To redirect the USB
headset, use the client’s USB Manager and select the USB headset to be redirected. Make sure
that
VMware Horizon View
is selected as the USBR protocol and make sure that the headset is
checked under the
Devices
to be redirected.
NOTE:
VMware does not recommend using USBR for headsets. A large amount network
bandwidth is required to stream audio data over the USBR protocol. Also, you might experience
poor audio quality with this method.
Using smart card redirection with VMware Horizon View
To use a smart card to log in to the VMware Horizon View server:
1.
On the HP ThinPro desktop, select
Connections
.
2.
Select an existing connection, and then click
Edit
.
3.
In the
Connection Settings
dialog box, under
General
, select
Allow smart card login
.
After starting the connection, the VMware Horizon View client will display a list of server
credentials.
4.
To unlock the credentials and access the VMware Horizon View Manager server, type the

NOTE:
After you supply the correct PIN, the user’s credentials will be used to log in to the VMware
Horizon View Manager server. Please see the VMware Horizon View documentation for details on
configuring the server to support smart card login. As long as the server is configured to allow smart
card login, the user’s credentials will pass through and they will be logged in to the desktop without
having to enter their PIN again.
NOTE:
To log in to the VMware Horizon View Manager administrator server with a smart card, the
local smart card driver must be installed on the client. Once logged in to the remote host, the smart
card will be passed to the remote host using a virtual channel, not USBR This virtual channel
redirection makes sure that the smart card can be used for tasks such as email signing, screen
locking, and so on, but might cause the smart card to not show as a smart card device in the
Windows Device Manager.
