Audio devices work on your cloud computers by default, requiring no extra configuration. If you encounter issues, an administrator can resolve them by creating custom peripheral rules in the console.
Get peripheral information
For USB peripherals, you need the Vendor Identifier (VID) and Product Identifier (PID) to configure peripheral policies. The VID and PID are hexadecimal strings, such as 0xa12c. The 0x prefix can typically be omitted. You can find the VID and PID of a connected USB peripheral in several ways.
Multiple factors affect the availability of peripherals in a cloud computer. These factors include the type and version of the Alibaba Cloud Workspace terminal and client, the cloud computer image, the local device that runs the client, and the brand and model of the peripheral. You can check the compatibility of a specific peripheral with cloud computers on the Peripheral Compatibility Query page. The data on this page comes from laboratory tests and is for reference only. Actual results may vary.
Workspace terminal
Open and log on to the Alibaba Cloud Workspace client.
In the upper-right corner of the client, click the icon and select Settings.
In the left navigation pane of the Settings window, click Peripherals. In the Local USB Peripherals panel, you can view the VID and PID of your USB peripheral.
Manually on your computer
You can find the VID and PID of a peripheral in your computer's device management information.
Windows
From the Start menu, search for and open Device Manager.
In the Device Manager window, expand and double-click the target USB device.
Go to the Details tab. From the Property drop-down list, select Hardware Ids. The VID and PID are displayed in the Value text box below.
macOS
From the Apple menu bar, choose . In the pop-up window, click More Info.
At the bottom of the About panel, click System Report.
In the left navigation pane of the new window, select Hardware > USB. Select the target USB device on the right to view its VID and PID in the details section below.
Using a third-party tool
You can use the USB Device Tree Viewer tool to view peripheral information. This tool is available for Windows only.
Download the tool from https://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbtreeview_e.html#download.
Unzip the downloaded package and double-click
UsbTreeView.exeto run it.In the navigation tree on the left, select the target USB device. You can find the VID and PID in the Device ID section of the right-side panel.
Configure peripheral policies
Peripheral control policies are part of cloud computer policies, which administrators must create and maintain in the console.
The following procedure uses the Elastic Desktop Service (EDS) console for enterprises as an example. For the specific procedure for the business edition, see Manage policies.

Configure and use peripherals
Connect a peripheral
You must connect peripherals to the WUYING Terminal oron-premises computer running the Alibaba Cloud Workspace client before you can connect the peripherals to a cloud computer.
When you connect a cloud computer to a peripheral for the first time, a connection configuration dialog box appears in the lower-right corner of the cloud computer desktop. In the dialog box, you can select the device type, specify whether to turn on auto-connect, and specify whether to remember the current configurations.
