07/30/2024, 11:29 AMAm I crazy, or did the audio behavior in CVAD 2402 change? I used to have my VDA's speaker volume set to 100, with my endpoint set to 42. Upgraded from 2203 CU3 to 2402 on the VDA yesterday, and now the VDA is following the volume of my endpoint, which makes it too low or too loud. Is there no way to decouple the volume slider?

Now I have to figure out how the hell to disable it.

07/30/2024, 2:16 PMHonestly doubt it. The fact that you can disable this feature in CWA for Linux, Mac, and thin clients but not Windows makes me want to throw a shoe at Citrix developers.

Copy code
Key: HKLM\Software\Citrix\Audio
Name: EnableVolumeSync
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0 (Disable)Nick Panaccio
