RDP8 (dynamic audio compression codecs) on RD-SH (Terminal Services), *not* VDI.

this confusing. i understand "remotefx" means "rdp8", i.e. not vgpu stuff. i want run session-based rdp system, i.e. traditional terminal server, not vdi, want benefit dynamic audio codecs operate on wan links, voice dictation. will benefits (a) if run physical rd-sh, *without* kind of hyper-v, , without physical gpu? secondly, need make sure "remotefx" in use? not care 3d graphics, read in server 2012, remotefx = "the collection of: audio compression, udp, improved wan stuff, usb redirection, , vgpu", physical gpu not required. i want make sure getting other benefits, in particular audio codecs. thanks, carl it's ok. have tested now. i downloaded windows 8 evaluation , installed under virtualbox. i forwarded ports (including rdp udp), rather use vpn, , tested home. the "connection quality" button shows (as per kb article above), says using udp, , can see h.264 being used video , other moving webpage object...
