How to hear the audio of a remote computer with Iperius Remote



Many remote control tools allow you to view and control the remote computer’s screen, but they don’t always allow you to hear system sounds. This can be a problem in various scenarios: technical support, software demonstrations, online training, or when you need to control sound notifications, videos, or multimedia applications.

To meet this need, Iperius Remote has introduced the audio transmission function , which allows you to listen to the sounds of the remote computer in real time during a remote access session.

Streaming system audio in Iperius Remote

With the new audio broadcast feature , Iperius Remote allows you to transmit the remote computer’s audio directly to the operator’s local device.

This means that during a remote access session you can not only see and control the remote desktop, but also hear the remote system sounds in real time , such as:

  • audio of videos or presentations

  • system notifications

  • application sounds

  • audio from multimedia software or browsers

Audio transmission occurs automatically through the remote connection, without the need for complex configurations or additional software.

Thanks to this feature, Iperius Remote becomes an even more complete remote control tool , ideal for IT support, customer assistance and remote computer management.

How to enable audio transmission in Iperius Remote

Enabling audio transmission during a remote desktop session is very simple. Follow these steps (it only takes a few minutes):

  1. Update Iperius Remote on both PCs.
    Make sure both the local computer (operator) and the remote computer have an updated version. The “Audio Transmission” feature is listed in the new features of Windows version 4.7.8 .

  2. Open Iperius Remote Settings
    On the PC where you want to enable the function, open Iperius Remote and click on the  Settings icon  (gear) in the program window.

  3. Enable “Transmit System Audio”
    In the settings, find the entry related to “Transmit System Audio” and enable it.

  4. Save and start (or restart) the remote control session.
    Save your settings and start a new remote control session. When a sound is playing on the remote PC, you should hear it on your local device. During the session, you can also quickly mute or unmute the audio using the mute option in the right side menu .

Why this feature is useful for remote access and IT support

The ability to listen to audio during a remote desktop session significantly improves the quality of technical support.

IT operators can directly check for audio issues , control sound notifications , or test multimedia applications without having to physically be in front of the computer. This makes diagnosis more accurate and reduces response times.

Even during software demonstrations or online training sessions, audio transmission allows you to share full multimedia content , making the presentation much clearer for those following the remote session.

Furthermore, in some business contexts, being able to listen to notifications or sound signals coming from the remote computer can be useful for monitoring certain applications or systems .

Conclusion

The ability to hear audio from the remote computer is an increasingly important feature in professional remote desktop software.

With Iperius Remote , audio transmission allows you to listen to the sounds of the remote system in real time during a remote control session, improving the experience of technical assistance, training and remote collaboration.
