It appears as though the sound is configured correctly on the host machines, but no sound comes from the client when a sound is made. This works when using a Windows Remote Desktop Client but not on the Mac.  It turns out that the audio redirection feature of RDC does not work; you will need a hotfix to resolve the issue. After installing the hotfix and rebooting the server computer, sound now plays on the client!

To obtain the hotfix, navigate to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973062 and click on View and request hotfix downloads. Click through the license agreement and select the hotfix that corresponds to your operating system. Fill out your email address and submit. Soon you will receive a zipped install executable that will install the fix for this issue. Upon rebooting and reconnecting to the host machine, you will hear sound!
