Audio only plays when sender is unmuted

from Stardock Forums

Both windows machines, audio sharing only works when sender is unmuted (ticking 'allow this machine to be unmuted'.) However, since the sender is my laptop, I have 2 machines playing audio at the same time.

The laptop (Windows itself) may not be actually playing (sending) audio if its muted - this is generally a power saving feature.

An relatively easy \ in expensive fix is to plug in a headset to the sender and mute them in-line.

Is it possible to make windows send audio while muted?

PCs generally do not suffer from this, laptops sometimes do.

Again, there is an easy workaround for this - detailed in my last reply.
