Troubleshooting remote sound issues

Check the following to troubleshoot remote sound.

Why is remote sound not working?

  • Please check that the host computer has the latest version of the host software installed.
  • Make sure you have the latest version of the Client desktop app for Windows or for Mac, as required.
  • Check to make sure the client's computer speakers are turned on and the volume is turned up.

Still isn't working?

In Windows 7 and later

Make sure the sound is configured properly within Windows on the host computer.

  1. Connect to the Windows 7 host computer.
  2. Open Control Panel > Sound.
  3. Select the Recording tab.
  4. Look for something similar to Stereo Mix, Stereo Out, Stereo Sum, What U Hear, or loopback. If you only see Line In, Mic, or Microphone, then Remote Sound may not be possible.
On a Mac
Important: Remote sound is currently not supported on Mac hosts running on M1, M2, M3 or M4 processors.
  • Make sure you are running the most recent version of the Host software on the Mac you want to control (2229 or above).
  • If you are running the correct version of the Host software, then restart the host.
  • If sound still does not work, then reinstall the host.
  • If sound still does not work, please contact us.

I've lost all sound on my Mac after using the host! If you can't hear sound on a computer that was being controlled via the host after ending a remote session, go to System Preferences > Sound > Output/Input on the Mac and confirm that LogMeInSoundDriver is not selected.
