This looks like it has to be added to x2goclient's source. (I can only add additional parameters after the rdesktop/xfreerdp call, but nothing in front of it.) > xfreerdp should have native pulseaudio-support so it depends on > your choice of software.

Running it on the command line xfreerdp --ignore-certificate --plugin rdpsnd -d DOMAIN -f -u User -p Password Server:3389 (i.e. *without* the parameter you suggested) returns, when pulseaudio is loaded: loading plugin rdpsnd Warning xf_GetWindowProperty (140): Property 484 does not exist connected to Server:3389 freerdp_load_library_symbol: failed to open /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/freerdp/rdpsnd_pulse.so: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/freerdp/rdpsnd_pulse.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory freerdp_load_plugin: failed to load rdpsnd_pulse/FreeRDPRdpsndDeviceEntry So it does try to do some pulseaudio'ish things, but fails. Thus, I'm guessing xfreerdp in Debian Wheezy is too old/doesn't include Pulseaudio support for some reason. Also, note that adding the parameter you suggested doesn't work out of the box - e.g. when called like this: xfreerdp --ignore-certificate --plugin rdpsnd -d DOMAIN -f -u User -p Password --data tsmf:audio:pulse Server:3389 it dies instantly with: loading plugin rdpsnd invalid option: --data failed to parse arguments. so the position of the parameter seems to matter. Additional info: xfreerdp --version returns "This is FreeRDP version 1.0.1" -Stefan -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243
