Digital Audio
The KX II 2.4.0 (and later) supports end-to-end bidirectional digital audio
connections for digital audio playback and capture devices from a remote
client to a target server. The audio devices are accessed over a USB
connection. A D2CIM-DVUSB and the current device firmware are
required.
Windows
®
, Linux
®
and Mac
®
operating systems are supported. The
Virtual KVM Client (VKC), Active KVM Client (AKC) and Multi-Platform
Client (MPC) support connections to audio devices.
Note: Audio CDs are not supported by virtual media so will not work with
the audio feature.
Before you begin using the audio feature, Raritan recommends you
review the audio related information documented in the following
sections of Help:
 Supported Audio Device Formats (on page 33)
 Audio Recommendations and Requirements (on page 33)
 Informational Notes, Audio (on page 197)
Supported Audio Device Formats
The KX II 2.4.0 (and later) supports one playback device and one record
device on a target at a time. The following audio device formats are
supported:
 Stereo, 16 bit, 44.1K (Playback only)
 Mono, 16 bit, 44.1K (Playback only)
 Stereo, 16 bit, 22.05K (Playback only)

Audio Recommendations and Requirements
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.
Note: This feature is available with the KX II 2.4.0 (and later).
