12. Potential issues
Issue: No sound from Parsec (click me)
- Parsec by default captures your primary audio device.
- Even if you have passed through your audio device correctly, if it doesn’t have a target it will not render audio. This is why I recommend HDMI dummy plugs over other models, since they also emulate sound devices.
Troubleshooting:
- Right click on your sound icon, then “Open Sound settings”
- Click “Sound Control Panel”
This is a functioning dummy plug/sound device
This is a non-functioning dummy plug/sound device
Solution:
Luckily, you can solve this problem by using Virtual Audio Cable.
Simply install it, and you’re good to go. (you may have to restart Parsec and/or the VM)
Issue: Black screen with Nvidia RTX client (not host)
Solution:
When “H.265 HEVC” is enabled in Client Settings, also make sure to turn on “Decoded Compatibility”.
