Ok, I think this would be an interesting one for the community. Audio (voice & sound) content is becoming more important to customers - day-to-day applications that require clear audio (e.g., listening to a voicemail attached in your email), VoIP/softphone calls, dictation applications, etc. If you have applications or use cases that require audio (voice or sound) over XenApp, please read on...
Take a listen to the recorded audio clip (no video) below - the clip was recorded over XenApp to an ICA client. As you listen to the clip, think about whether the audio quality is, in your opinion, good enough for you day-to-day use? After listening to the audio clip, please vote in our poll below. By the way, it's recommended that you watch/listen to the clip from a locally installed browser.

Oh, and if you cannot see the voting buttons (green checks).... you'll need to login to vote. And if you don't have a login, you can easily create one here.

What's your impression of the audio quality in the sample audio clip? Choose
Poor – if it's my only option, then I cannot use it with my voice/audio application
Bearable – I can use it to communicate with others, but only if I have to
Acceptable – I can use this on a daily basis
Great – When can I have this?

If you have questions, please click on my name and feel free to contact me!

For me, the sound quality is probablycloser to "acceptable", but the reason I voted "bearable" was because of the constant (and loud) background hum, and the Sylvester the Cat ("suffering succotash!") sound of the voice.

I voted acceptable, but have the same comments as Alastair...

I've voted bearable, because I feel I could life with this quality, however I don't think those people that use the phone alot, or managerial types that wish to use load speaker hands free systems, would agree.
