For an overview of remote audio, see Section 2-17, “Remote audio overview.” Before describing the RGS audio
capabilities available under the Receiver Control Panel Audio tab, Sender audio configuration and calibration are
described.

Audio on the Sender is only supported on Windows. To configure audio on the Sender, open the Sound and
Audio Devices Properties dialog in the Windows Control Panel, and select the Audio tab (see Figure 6-3).

The first step is to configure the Sound playback device (if used) and the Sound recording device (if used). As
shown in RGS on Windows supports remote audio, allowing audio generated by the application on the Remote
Computer to be captured and transmitted to the Local Computer for playback. In addition, microphone input on
the Local Computer can be sent to the application running on the Remote Computer. Figure 2-24 shows the RGS
audio subsystem (green boxes) for Windows, and the audio data paths—these data paths are described in Table
2-1.
Figure 2-24, “RGS audio subsystem”, the Sender contains audio components for both Sound playback and Sound
Recording (microphone input). Figure 6-4 on the next page repeats the Sender portion of the diagram from RGS
on Windows supports remote audio, allowing audio generated by the application on the Remote Computer to be
captured and transmitted to the Local Computer for playback. In addition, microphone input on the Local
Computer can be sent to the application running on the Remote Computer. Figure 2-24 shows the RGS audio
subsystem (green boxes) for Windows, and the audio data paths—these data paths are described in Table 2-1.
