I'm connecting to a remote device running ubuntu 22.04 + kde + xrdp.

My understanding is that, to get audio forwarded through rdp, I need to install a pulseaudio plugin for xrdp. So far I've tried:

  1. build & install pulseaudio-module-xrdp from source
  2. use an installer script from this blog
  3. kill and restart pulseaudio, logout and reboot
  4. add the user to the audio group

None of these work. They did install some .so, but on the Audio Volume panel it always says "No output or input devices found".

What should I do next? Do I need to modify any config to enable something? Or was I just fundamentally on the wrong way?

The reason why it does not work is that Ubuntu uses pipewire since 22.04.

Therefore the pulseaudio module, which is provided by xrdp won't work. But the good news is that they also offer a pipewire module.

I do not now, if there is a package in the Ubuntu repo already. But it is easy to compile it yourself. Just follow the installation instructions at https://github.com/neutrinolabs/pipewire-module-xrdp

After a restart, it should work.
