Audio Playback and Capture Recommendations and Requirements
Audio Level
Set the target audio level to a mid-range setting.
For example, on a Windows
®
client, set the audio to 50 or lower.
This setting must be configured through the playback or capture audio
device, not from the client audio device control.
Recommendations for Audio Connections when PC Share Mode is
Enabled
If you are using the audio feature while running PC Share mode, audio
playback and capture are interrupted if an additional audio device is
connected to the target.
For example, User A connects a playback device to Target1 and runs an
audio playback application then User B connects a capture device to the
same target. User A's playback session is interrupted and the audio
application may need to be restarted.
The interruption occurs because the USB device needs to be
re-enumerated with the new device configuration.
It may take some time for the target to install a driver for the new device.
Audio applications may stop playback completely, go to the next track, or
just continue playing.
The exact behavior is dependent on how the audio application is
designed to handle a disconnect/reconnect event.
