Proxmox Window 11 Sound

When making changes to the VM, best to have the VM off. Make the changes and boot the VM.

This took me hours to figure out, with most of the time used searching and with no avail. So I started to experiment and found the answer.

In the Proxmox PVE VM, go to Hardware and make sure that Display is set to SPICE (qxl):

ProxmoxWindows11Sound

This will activate the audio in Windows 11.

Windows11WithSound

Even though the audio is activated on Windows 11, unless the Audio output mode is set to Local on the RDP client, Windows will shows no audio.

Windows RDP client:
WindowsRDPEnable sound-RDP edit

If using Remmina:
RemminaRDP

Myself

Sometimes I wake up and say to myself, “Today is the day that I will make changes to my life and will continue to make changes until I have reached that place where I vision myself to be.” I go to work and then when I am done, I am tired, I sit on the couch, watch television, eat dinner and sleep. POOF! The day is gone and I wake up the next day finding myself doing the same thing all over again.

I have found myself…

GroundhogDay

Last year I left a position, that seemed to me, I was becoming stagant, so I applied for several positions and was able to accept a position that I deemed challeging. The last few days, I found myself again in that situation as my previous position, so I decided to make a change, not in work position, but with myself.

I do now know where I read, that to make a change, as a human, I cannot make large changes that will be life altering. I might be able to do large (abrupt) changes for a day, maybe a week or a month, e.g., diet, exercise, etc., but abrupt changes are not sustainable in the log run and I will revert back to my old routine. So the best to make the changes incremental and small, or even tiny. Try thrity-second changes. Do something that I want to change for thrity-seconds, once I start, see if I continue after the thrity-seconds has completed. This has made a change in my life, hence why I am documenting this. I will continue to make this change until I have reached goals that I have set for myself.

My hope that by December 31th, I can make that leap that I have been thinking of for a while…
