Audio over RDP choppy, even on a Gb LAN connection. WHY?

Is there no way to get decent, discernible audio over RDP? I'm just remoting from one machine to another on a Gb LAN and it's still so choppy I cannot watch a YouTube video. Why is this and is there a solution? Thanks.


Solution 1:

Create an RDP configuration file (open mstsc, enter settings and use Save As).

Then open the .rdp file in a text editor. Add (or change if it's there) the setting:
