The AnyDesk Audio feature allows users hear sound

Windows settings

When using audio transmission, the Windows system settings need to be set up properly.
In case of issues with the transmission, these should be checked first.

The correct default audio devices need to be set up, as this is what AnyDesk uses in its standard configuration.
