We have been trying to setup our VDI environment to be able to utilize the Philips SpeechMike 3200 for a week or 2 now, with not much (any) success.
We're on Horizon 6.2. We're using Windows PCs or Dell Wyse 5010s w/ PCoIP thin clients are our endpoints. Thus far, the experience is the same: the VM session just isn't seeing the SpeechMike. At least how we expect to.
On my local Windows PC, when I plug in the mic, Windows automatically installs it. No need for specific drivers, no prompts, nothing. Just works. Part of this verification, is I then install the Philips Control Center on my PC. Sure enough, inside of it, we see the mic, it is able to perform all steps on the various buttons the validate the functions, we're good to go. I then connect to my VM using the Windows Horizon client. In device manager on the VM, I DO NOT see the mic. Interestingly, the functions work. The trackball moves the mouse, the audio output and input both work, that testing seems ok utilizing just standard Windows functions. When I install the control center though, it lists no device connected. This behavior is identical when using our thin client. The windows session will allow for the basic functionality, but we can't test the button functions because the control center, again, doesn't see it.
We plan on attempting to have our clinical staff test the mic within their application anyway, just to see. Perhaps the Control Center not seeing it is moot, and it will still work within the specific app. I'd just feel a bit better if control center on the VM saw it.
Am I missing anything? It looks like as of Horizon 6, Philips dictation devices are full supported.
