As a setup for working for home I now have a VPN link to the office and am trying to use Express Scribe with a foot pedal through the RDP session. The foot pedal is not being recognised despite me ticking to extend plug-and-play devices through the RDP session. Is this a supported use? Do I need to do something else to get this to work? Has anybody got this to work? Thanks.

This Topic is intended to help save significant amounts of time and frustration for those attempting to use BroadWave to stream audio from a remote location. I have been attempting to use RDP to stream from a remote computer with an attached microphone to my BroadWave streaming computer. I can get audio to the server computer from my remote computer and can even record it with NCH's WavePad editor but no matter what I do, including installing a couple other pieces of software (fabulatech's Sound Over RDP, for example) BroadWave will NOT pick up the audio. After many hours of testing, tweaking, and re-testing I finally emailed NCH (I didn't buy the additional support) and patiently waited for a reply. In essense, remote audio to BroadWave is not supported. Here is the reply I received: So that being the case, I have a horribly clugy work-around. 1. Set up BroadWave lite on my remote computer. 2. Post a link to the stream on my website and bury the page. --- BTW - it won't work unless you click the link from the page - at least not for long. I was able to just paste the link into my player for a couple weeks but after the trial expired it wouldn't play remotely until I posted the link with the NCH advert. 3. RDP to Server Machine 4. Open buried web page from step 2 and click stream link. 5. Start BroadWave and select "Stereo Mix" as input source. This process works but there is a significant (about 45-60 second) delay and there is a further complication of having 3 places to adjust levels and wait 60 seconds to see full effect of adjustments. If anyone has any other suggestions, I am open to them as I need to be able to give this set up to tech novices and have them be able to get it running without my assistance. Thank you kindly.
