HI, I have very choppy audio with Microsoft Remote Desktop.

I am connecting to 2 very powerful windows 8.1 Desktops from my Macbook Pro over my local Wifi ( both systems are on my local network " the 8.1 desktop's are hardwired to my gigabit router with Cat6" ) My Macbook Pro is pulling over 170 mpb down speeds over the wifi. and the desktops are pulling over 330mbps..... i don't think i have a connection speed issue.

I use Remote Desktop daily from my Macbook Pro to My PC's and it's worked very well up until about a month ago. I am not sure how to trouble shoot this problem as their aren't any options other than "Play on Device" in the preferences.

I do have another Macbook thats quite a bit older and the Audio is working fine via RDC....

I have removed the program from my Macbook Pro and re-installed it - this didn't help...

id like to solve this without re-installing OS X 

any advice ???

Have you tried to connect the PCs through RDC to verify if there is an audio problem between the two PCs? This may help to remove the Macbook Pro from the equation or isolate it to being an Apple update that is causing the issue.
