[PCR-1000] Using the PCR on MS Remote Desktop

[Mark L. Hammond]

I've set up Windows Media Encoder to pipe audio from my rig or PCR units through the web...pretty slick.  A bit of lag, but it works from any machine with a media player (if you want public access, that is).

As I recall, it's a free download from MS.  Setup isn't too bad...been a long time since I installed it!

>Okay, now the challenge (putting my hat back on).  After connecting the audio output of the PCR to the line-input of the IBM I can hear the audio of the PCR via the computer's speakers.  However, there is no audio feed to the local Dell at my house.  I have the "Remote Computer Sound" settings of the software set for "Bring to this Computer" position.  In fact, if I play a CD at the remote IBM, I can hear it on the local Dell speakers.
