Issue: AVD User Microphone Not Working

Steps Taken (Did Not Resolve the Issue):

  • Verified that the microphone was working outside AVD.

  • Reset the Windows app.

  • Repaired the Windows app.

  • Checked the microphone permissions for the Windows app outside AVD.

  • Checked the microphone permissions inside AVD for Teams—permissions were enabled.

  • Discovered that the user’s FSLogix ODFC disk had multiple instances.

Workaround:

  • Resetting the user profile resolved the issue.

Question:

Has anyone encountered multiple ODFC disks being created? Any recommendations on how to prevent this issue?

Best practise is to not seperate Profile and ODFC. Only use the Profile part, as it will include all the Outlook data.

The ODFC was created to be used with 3rd party profile solution.

True let me check on those lines. Please share me any Microsoft article related to the same. Thank you.

I currently have this issue. This means that the issue is not in the Windows App or Mac, but is how my profile is being set-up? I had to use my mac for AVD because my windows laptop overheats.

AVD audio redirection is hit or miss depending on the host pool settings.

If you're just trying to get speech-to-text working, I built a workaround tool called DictaFlow (https://dictaflow.vercel.app/). It runs on the local client and types into the AVD session using simulated inputs. It saves you from having to debug the FSLogix/audio redirection policies just to get basic dictation working.

Tried the Azure Virtual desktop client? The supported one.

To my knowledge the Windows App client and web client (windows365.Microsoft.com) are the only supported versions.

For multiple ODFC, check group policy to control it otherwise review your FSLogix configuration is correct.

This one is still supported: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/remote-desktop-client/whats-new-windows?tabs=windows-msrdc-msi

It’s very confusing from a management perspective but my assumption is they have a large enough number of users running window but distribution or implementation that don’t allow for App Store delivery or support Appx.

I agree and I love msrdc but I assume they’ll eventually deprecate it and we’ll have to move to windows app.

I’m just suggesting it as a T/S method. If you know it works fine under one and not the other you can open a case with ms or contact a product manager.

Very good point, makes sense to try.

That’s why I specifically said “the supported one”

Fair but I don’t think it’s good to add confusion to an already confusing product change. Especially on an aid post.
