Citrix Audio Redirection Service is not running

The Citrix Audio Redirection Service is part of the Citrix Virtual Desktop Agent (VDA) software which runs on a single or multi session machine. It is responsible for redirecting audio over the Audio Virtual Channel to be used within the ICA session.

If this windows service has stopped running, users having a virtual desktop session to the respective session machine have no sound.

Agentless Session Machine Monitoring

MetrixInsight for Citrix VAD/DaaS remotely monitors if Citrix Audio Redirection Services are running using its agentless session machine monitoring solution. This SCOM resource pool based solution monitors all your single- and multi session machines remotely. There is no need to discover these session machines using the SCOM discovery wizard.
