## 2026-10-08 — Hear the remote machine from the remote-desktop viewer `agent 0.47.0` `api 0.129.0` `web 0.159.0`
|
||||
|
||||
The remote-desktop toolbar has a new speaker button. It turns on the sound of the machine you are
|
||||
watching, so you can hear a video play, a notification, or a call, and turns it off again. It works
|
||||
with JPEG images as well as with H.264 and H.265 video.
|
||||
|
||||
**It is off when a session opens, and off means off.** Nothing is listened to on the machine until you
|
||||
press the button, and pressing it again stops the listening on the machine, not only the playing in
|
||||
your browser. What you hear is what the machine plays through its speakers; its microphone is never
|
||||
opened. The sound is sent only while the notice is standing on the person's screen, and nothing is
|
||||
recorded or kept. The person at the machine is not told that someone is listening: the notice names who
|
||||
is viewing and controlling, and does not yet mention sound. Only the agent's log records that the
|
||||
sound was turned on and off.
|
||||
|
||||
The machine encodes the sound as AAC at 128 kbit/s with the encoder Windows already carries, and a
|
||||
machine that is playing nothing sends nothing. The sound and the picture are not synchronised: expect
|
||||
them to differ by a tenth of a second or two, which is fine for hearing a notification or a call and
|
||||
not good enough to judge lip-sync.
|
||||
|
||||
The button appears when your browser can play AAC (Chrome, Edge and Safari can; Firefox depends on its
|
||||
platform codecs) and the machine's agent is updated. When the machine cannot oblige, the button turns
|
||||
into a muted speaker and the status bar says why: no sound output (most virtual machines and servers
|
||||
have none), no AAC encoder (on Windows Server, the Media Foundation feature is not installed), or the
|
||||
sound stopped.
|
||||
|
||||
Update the API, the web image and the agent release image. No database update is required. With an
|
||||
older agent or an older API the button is not shown and nothing changes.
