Dear all,

thank you for giving people like myself the opportunity to check out Remote Desktop Manager before deciding if it is the right product for our needs.

Here is my problem:

  • We will remote monitor several desktop connections to computers in different locations.
  • Each of these computers will be connected to a local video and audio output system
  • There's a feedback audio device as an external sound card containing output from the sound system.
  • We want to monitor the desktop and the audio input to the computer (locally, the input is not heard, but only sound from apps like PowerPoint, etc.
  • In a monitoring software like RDM, we would need an easy way of muting or unmuting every single existing connection tab without touching the output of the individual local system and without visually interacting with the local system's desktop.
  • In a perfect world, we would love to configure the audio input/output devices from within RDM for each remote system individually.


It is no option to configure connections either as muted or unmuted. We don't want to reconnect. Instead, manipulation of the software's connection tab audio output seems possible, what do you think?

Is RDM having such a feature?

Hello,
Thank you for your detailed description and for considering Remote Desktop Manager for your needs.

Regarding your inquiry about muting or unmuting each connection tab independently within RDM, currently, RDM does not support direct manipulation of audio inputs/outputs for remote sessions from within the software itself. This is mainly because RDM is typically used more as an IT management tool rather than a monitoring application, which means it does not include advanced audio management features that you described.

As an alternative, you might consider using external scripts (e.g., PowerShell) to manage the audio settings on the remote systems themselves, although this would require more setup and might not be as seamless as you would prefer.

Best regards,

David Hervieux
