Starting with the 2409 version of Citrix Workspace app, you can now select your preferred audio devices directly in the Desktop Viewer toolbar. This feature offers a more customized audio experience with the following key features when connected to a virtual desktop:

Device splitting: You can assign different audio devices to different VDAs. For example, you can have two monitors with two different VDAs, each using a separate audio device (one loudspeaker and one headset).
Specific device selection: The exact audio device can be selected for each active VDA from the Preferences section.
Configuration persistence: The selected configuration is preserved for the next session, ensuring a seamless experience.

Note:

If you do not want the selected configuration to be preserved for the next session, you can adjust the settings accordingly in the Preferences section.

This feature isn’t applicable to a pooled desktop environment because each time a user signs in, they might be connected to a different VDA.

To select the specific audio device, do the following:

Navigate to the Preferences section on the Desktop Viewer toolbar.
Click Connections. The following image appears:
Select the device that you want from the Default speaker drop-down list.
Select the device that you want from the Default microphone drop-down list.
Click OK to save the changes.
