But the EDT Lossy does not work in ICA Session even configure with following settings.
VDA side:
Client Side:
The Audio EDT lossy function cannot be used for an unencrypted session.
It requires another registry key in client side to ignore unencrypted session if TLS/DTLS is not being used with ICA session.
We recommend customers to use Citrix Gateway Service or NetScaler when using the Audio EDT Lossy function.
For Windows CWA. If the ICA session is not encrypted, the EDT lossy for audio will not be enabled.
Please add the following registry key to allow the unencrypted session to use the feature of EDT lossy.
PLEASE NOTE: This key only be recommended to use in the test scenario, as there is the risk of unencrypted data transportation.
NOTE: this key only could be used in test, there is the data security risk of unencrypted data.
