Remote Recording Devices over RDP

Question

Locally on a Windows 10 1511 computer I can view and change default playback and recording devices. When I RDP to the same computer from another Windows 10 1609 comp, the devices are no longer available and only the remote audio is available and nothing is available under recording. Is there a way to enable this so when I access the computer via RDP, I can customize the playback and recording devices to what is locally installed?

I am aware of changing the RDP advanced settings. However, this does not give me the devices already installed locally to the remote computer. The drivers in the Audio Inputs and Outputs in Device Manager are missing when RDP'd to the comp. When I change the RDP session to leave the audio at the remote computer and then RDP, I am able to view all the devices but cannot use/hear them.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

Open Run, type “services.msc” end with enter to open Services. Make sure below service is running, and Startup type is configured as Automatic: Remote Desktop Services UserMode Port Redirector

Please re-start both local and remote system in Clean Boot. Then, open Run, type “mstsc” to open Remote Desktop Connection. Select Local Resources – Remote audio – Settings - Remote Audio Playback configured with 'Play on this computer' – Remote Audio Recording configured with ‘Record from this computer’.

Besides, you may also try to open Run, type “mstsc /admin” to open Remote Desktop Connection and check the result.

If possible, please try remote desktop connection from any other device, or, using different RDP client(such as Microsoft Remote Desktop on Windows Store - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/microsoft-remote-desktop/9wzdncrfj3ps) to confirm that if it is specific OS, or specific software relate problem.
