Virtual Audio & Virtual Host Controller Components

[InquiryVending]

I've recently started using Moonlight for game streaming and wanted to share with you which components are required to get it to function fully.
It will also be helpful for future users to include this in the help text for each component.

• Shield Steaming Service (+ all dependencies)
• Virtual Audio (required for audio to work while streaming. Streaming won't start without this component)
• Virtual Host Controller (required for input devices connected to the streaming client to work)

Thanks for making NVCleanstall.

Are these the bare minimum or can we go lower?

For the purpose of Moonlight it seems these three are required, the reasoning makes sense

why aren't they required for "Shield streaming service"? Also no mention in component description. I had to reinstall the driver 2 times so that the necessary components for moonlight were installed

Are they actually required for Shield Streaming to work?

yes for me, streaming without audio and input doesn't make sense to me

What I means is does Shield Streaming specifically, even use those components, or do they use something else for audio and input? No way to know unless someone tests it

moonlight uses shield streaming, there is no audio and no remote control after connecting to stream from the remote device without "Virtual Audio" and "Virtual Host Controller". Mouse cursor doesn't move and i don't hear anything without these components while using moonlight client
