Audio Support

The Graphics Agent for macOS supports audio input and output between the host and the client. To send audio to the Anyware client, you must select the Anyware Virtual Speaker audio device as the output device on the remote macOS system.

Audio can be enabled, disabled, and audio bandwidth throttled by configuring the agent.

Multi-Channel Audio Output

Requirements

  • Client: Anyware Client for macOS, version 22.01 or newer

    Important: macOS Client is required

    Multi-channel audio is only supported by the Anyware Client for macOS.

  • Agent: Graphics Agent for macOS, version 22.01 or newer

  • Audio device: Multi-Channel Audio device that supports 2.1, 5.1 or 7.1 channel configuration (connected to Anyware Client for macOS)

Current Limitations

  • Only 2.1, 5.1, and 7.1 configurations are currently supported.

Enabling Multi-Channel Audio

To use multi-channel audio in a PCoIP session, the client Mac must be connected to a multi-channel audio device that is set as the system default. When a configured client establishes a PCoIP connection, the Graphics Agent for macOS will automatically detect the multi-channel system.

See the Anyware Software Client for macOS Administrators' Guide for setup instructions.
