1. A method for providing sound between a remote computer system and an interfacing computer system, comprising:
- audibly interfacing with a computer management module disposed on the remote computer system from the interfacing computer system via a network comprising;
detecting audio settings of the remote computer system;
transmitting the audio settings to the interfacing computer system via a network;
configuring audio circuitry of the interfacing computer system based on the audio settings to provide an audio interface between the interfacing computer system and the computer management module;
capturing audio data responsive to software or hardware events occurring on the remote computer system;
transmitting the audio data from the remote computer system to the interfacing computer system;
processing the audio data via the audio circuitry based on the audio settings of the remote computer system to produce substantially identically sounds originating at the remote computer system; and
converting the audio data to an analog signal at the interfacing computer system;
graphically interfacing with the computer management module disposed on the remote computer system from the interfacing computer system via the network to enable user management via the computer management module in response to the software or hardware events.

Abstract
A technique is provided for emulating sound of a remote computer system, such as a server, on another computer system interfacing with the remote computer system via a network. The technique emulates sound of the remote computer system by using a standard audio format or by copying audio settings of the remote computer system to the interfacing computer system. For example, the input/output addresses, sound tables, and register settings of audio circuitry for the remote computer system may be detected, copied, transferred, and used by audio circuitry for the interfacing computer system.
