The correct answer is A. audiomode:i:0.

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is the protocol used for remote connections to Windows-based virtual machines or desktops. Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (formerly known as Windows Virtual Desktop) allows customization of the RDP properties of a host pool to optimize the user experience.

When using Teams without media optimization, the RDP settings need to be adjusted to ensure that audio can be played on the local computer. The 'audiomode' property determines how audio is played during an RDP session.

The value of audiomode can be set to one of the following:

  • 0 - Audio is played on the local computer
  • 1 - Audio is played on the remote computer
  • 2 - Audio is not played during the session

In this scenario, to ensure that audio is played on the local computer, we need to set the value of audiomode to 0.

Option B, 'audiocapturemode:i:1', is not applicable to this scenario. This property is used to determine whether audio is captured from the local computer or the remote computer during an RDP session.

Option C, 'camerastoredirect:s:*', is used for redirecting cameras during an RDP session. This option is not relevant to playing audio on the local computer.

Option D, 'audioturnon:0', is not a valid RDP property.
