Sound should work as long as you set it to forward.

If you need something for in line with an actual sound card, you could try something like Virtual Audio Cable or VB-Audio Cable.

Hello thanks for the response. I tried what you said and installed a virtual output and input and this still seems to have no effect.

It may be that the Windows Sound Service is disabled. I have seen that happen a couple of times over the years.

Have you checked if it is enabled and running?

Audio is disabled by default on Windows Server instances and needs to be enabled through services.msc.

It seems like oxy has figured this out already but wanted to post this for archival
