what are the features to add to a windows server in order to have the sound system?

Question

I have some windows servers (2012 and 2016) where I would like the sound system working, so that I could watch a video with sound.

what is(are) the features that need to be installed?

Currently the sound services are there and started but still no sound. what is missing?

a partial view of the device manager

These machines are Virtual and I don't have access to the host.

Does the server have an audio output device shown in Device Manager? — I say Reinstate Monica, Oct 16 '19 at 10:40
no, it doesn't - as per the picture added to the question now — Marcello Miorelli, Oct 16 '19 at 10:46
Are these Physical or Virtual? If Physical are you sitting in front of them or connecting remotely. If Virtual are you using VM console or remote desktop? — Smock, Oct 16 '19 at 10:48

In Remote Desktop Connection, you need to ensure that Local Resources > Remote Audio > Settings > Remote Audio Playback is set to Play on this computer.

On the server, you need to ensure that audio redirection is not disabled in group policy: Computer > Administrative Templates > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Device and Resource Redirection > Allow audio and video playback redirection.
