After Tumbleweed switched from pulseaudio to pipewire, remote desktop sessions ( XRDP ) no longer had sound because that support was based on pulseaudio.
The developers have been working on a solution for quite a while now and it appears they have it working again using a new module.

Can we get this new module included in TW ?
What desktop are you using? For example, if you're using GNOME, you can use its built-in support for RDP through gnome-remote-desktop.
I am using KDE but clients are Linux as well as Windows which both worked fine with xrdp until pulseaudio was replaced by pipewire.
I don't have any issues with pipewire on my desktop, but apparently xrdp was originally written to work with pulseaudio.
That new module allows it to work with pipewire.
Does gnome-remote-desktop provide the server/service or is it client only ? If it is the server side, can it support Windows clients connecting via rdp ?
It is the server software, and yes Windows clients can connect to it. That said, KDE Plasma 6 will include support for RDP too when using Plasma Wayland. More details are in this blog post: https://quantumproductions.info/articles/2023-08/remote-desktop-using-rdp-pr... Hopefully Plasma 6 will arrive later this year. :) -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!
