I'm using a Windows 8 Pro box to serve audio and video, but it's also used as an HTPC box connected by SPDIF to an audio receiver. Using RDP (Remote Desktop) from another PC allows me to keep audio playing on the HTPC just fine during the RDP session, provided I tick the box in the options wherein I indicate to keep audio at the server.
However, if I log into the HTPC using an RDP client running on a mobile platforum (iOS or Android), which does not have the option to keep audio on the server, no audio can be played on the HTPC following a terminated RDP session without a reboot of the server PC. It's fine that there's no option to keep audio on the server using a mobile client, but once I disconnect the RPD session from the mobile device, I expect that the audio is restored back to the server. But, for whatever reason, playback is just broken.
This isn't a mobile client issue, because if I use a desktop RDP client while choosing instead to send the audio to the connected client PC, and then disconnect the RDP session, I see the same symptom, where audio doesn't get brought back to the server. A reboot is required to remedy.
Any ideas? Thanks...
