In addition to Chris' comments...
Windows XP remote desktop offers a number of features that are not really
supported by Win2K term server, or not supported well. You can set them, but
the server is free to override or ignore them at will. Additionally, the
settings on the server can disable these, so you might check the server side
configuration as well.
I have found that the terminal server on Win2K is a little quirky in
general. I was never able to get this to work as reliably as I wanted, along
with other things. Even when configured "correctly", things can still get a
little odd when it comes to the other available options.
Ended up going with Win2K3 on the server side. MUCH more reliable and
feature rich in my experience.
This may not be an option for you, if not then check your local settings and
the server configuration.

I have looked everywhere I can think of for help on this. I have
checked MSDN and several code-source sites to no avail.
Wonder if this can actually be done?
On WindowsXP (and I don't know if it is the same with Windows 2000) but if
I open Remote Desktop Connection to connect to a remote computer, there is
a tab called local resources in which you set the sound option. Here is a
link to the image to show what I mean.
