The table below details the bandwidth requirements to transport audio
under each of the selected formats.
Audio format
44.1 KHz, 16bit stereo
44.1 KHz, 16bit mono
2.05 KHz, 16bit stereo
22.05 KHz, 16bit mono
11.025 KHz, 16bit stereo
11.025 KHz, 16bit mono
In practice, the bandwidth used to connect audio to a target is higher due
to the keyboard and video data consumed in opening and using an audio
application on the target.
A general recommendation is to have a least 1.5MB of connection before
running Playback and Capture. However, high video content, full color
connections at high target screen resolutions consume much more
bandwidth and impact the quality of the audio considerably.
There are a number of recommended client settings that will reduce the
impact of the video on audio quality at lower bandwidths:

Connect Audio playback at the lower quality formats. The impact of
video consuming bandwidth is much less notable at 11k connections
than at 44k

Set the connection speed under Connection Properties to a value
that best matches the client to server connection.

Set the color depth to as lowest value as possible. Reducing to 8 bit
color considerably reduces the bandwidth consumed.

Set Smoothing, under Connection Properties, to High. This will
improve the appearance of the target video by reducing displayed
video noise.

Set the Noise Filter, under Video settings to its highest setting, 7
(highest value). Less bandwidth will be used for target screen
changes.
