How to enable sound on Windows Azure VM

Question

I would like to use a Windows Azure Virtual Machine as an development machine. I want to enable sound on that machine in order to hear the event sounds (errors, warrnings etc) and listen to the music from last.fm.

Is it possible to have sound on the Azure virtual machines?

I tried: http://www.wikihow.com/Hear-Audio-from-the-Remote-PC-when-Using-Remote-Desktop but it does not help.

OS: Windows Server 2012 R2 / Windows Server 2013

Answer 1

Just enable Remote Desktop Services as in below link and Configure Client Experience and tick 'Audio and Video Playback". You may also need to install Desktop Experience feature if it is not installed.
