How to use remote microphone on Remote Desktop

desktopmicrophoneremoteservicesterminal

I wish to connect to a remote Windows 7 PC that has a microphone, and use that local microphone (on the destination PC) in recording applications. Unfortunately whenever I connect on Remote Desktop, the remote PC's local microphones become hidden and disabled. Remote Desktop seems to force using the source computer's microphone with redirection, without an option to use the remote PC's microphone Isn't there a way to enable using the remote PC's microphone? I don't get why this should be so hard.

People have claimed that it is doable and works via registry change:

From bloogish.com, MS Support, Device and Resource Redirection

However I have tested it on 2 of my Win7 Pro SP1 x64 laptops. The registry change is not working, even after reboot and confirmed the registry are 0. Please try and let us know result.

Alternatively, use Skype with auto answer on remote machine...
