Steam remote play together audio not working for clients

[ShadzMadz]

I'm trying to get some friends into this game and they can't hear any audio from their end, we've tried 2 things so far that i've heard worked for others, changing default audio to 16bit and the play audio to host option, neither one has worked, is there any way to fix this for my friends?

id try switching to parsec. however check to make sure that the audio channels are set to pipe correctly. if you use 'non-standard' set-up the game audio might be getting put onto a different device stream that steam isnt picking up.

you might find this same issue with parsec. but i do like it more and in my testing its better on latency especially with multiple clients.

...I feel like maybe I should mention that this game's audio settings in-game are a bit messed up to begin with - the "surround" option in particular - there's a chance the other person doesn't have a setup to emulate whatever you have your in-game setting on, so their signals are being sent to channels that aren't actually making it out a speaker... I don't know how much this matters when you're doing remote play though.

Just a thought - I've had a bunch of audio issues with this game in the years since I bought it - just a week ago, Surround sound was working on mine, via my headphones, and even spatial audio seemed to be (which is pointless in this game, but what the heck) - today, all voice audio tracks are missing until I change "surround" to "stereo". All other sound is there - just no dialogue.

Probably worth taking a glance at if you have not already done so, since this might be the MOST inconsistent game I've ever played, as far as audio... seems like every time I pick up this damn game I have a DIFFERENT issue, usually audio related.
