Log into a remote desktop via RDP control and found the initial volume of the desktop is set to the maximum level

Question

Hello, dear all,

Currently I've encountered an issue that if I log into a remote desktop via RDP control, the volume on the remote desktop is set to the maximum level though it was set as a middle one previously. I guess it is caused by the RDP control but I couldn't find any proof. There are some clues on the article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/897599

Would you please help me on this issue? Thank you very much.

Answer 1

It looks like this is known issue, and the article gives you resolutions that must be done on the machine that you are accessing.  What other assistance were you looking for?

Hi, Matt,

Thank you very much. Is there any article saying it is by design? If I connect to the remote desktop via mstsc, the volume will not be changed. But via RDP control, the issue will occur. What is the difference?

Thanks!

I forgot to mention that I am using a Win8 pro to connect to a remote win8 pro. Thanks.

Well, at first I didn't realize that the article referred to Windows CE.  However, I think that you should follow the instructions in the "resolution" section of the article to see if they work for you.  That particle article says it is by design.  Whether or not it's by design is irrelevant because you can't change the behavior.
