Remote control of a Mac Studio from an in network iOS device.

I have not found this as a topic. Is there a way of controlling a Mac Studio in the same network (only!) with an iOS device. Here is what I want to do. I stumble off the bed and realize I have forgotten to close a YouTube, or something else running on the Mac. I never shut down my computers I let them manage their powerstate but if a have a noisy thing going on the Mac I would like to close it. I don't really want to shuffle over to it and close things, I am going for decadent remote control.

I use Jump Desktop (iOS, iPadOS, macOS) for remote control of my Mac mini (dedicated music player).

There are other, VNC-based, options, but Jump Desktop gives by far the smoothest experience of all the ones I've tried.

Exactly what I was looking for.

The only problem I have is getting the iPhone and I pad to play the Mac’s audio remotely. It seem to have all of boxes checked but I am missing something.

Not sure how it looks on the iPhone, and I've just swapped my iPad for a MacBook Air, but on the Mac (the controlling system, i.e. the one with the display) I need to give Jump Desktop access to the microphone. I also need to enable Audio in the sharing settings for the Fluid session I'm using.

On the controlled Mac, select Jump Desktop Audio as sound output device.

This is a expensive, $35 bucks app, I use to control the audio I/O on my Mac Studio, I can control everything audio.

I still don't know what I am doing wrong. I have enabled Jump in all of all the audio settings and I still cannot get the audio to play on the iPad, or iPhone. It works great except for this. I have looked for a tutorial on YouTube but I have not found any.
 
This is going to be one of those things that will be a head smacker when I finally figure out what what I don't have checked off. Again this in one area were Windows rules is in the audio settings.
 
Did you enable it in Jump Desktop (connection settings) on the client side as well? On my macOS client it's here:

Not sure what this looks like on the iPhone.

Is this the setting? This is a screen shot from my iPhone. It is the same on the iPad.

What I am trying to do in remotely use my SDRPlay RSP Dx's Software Defined Radios with its SDRConnect running on the Mac and remotely controlled from either the iPhone or the iPad. I have everything up and running except the sound. I have Jump Desktop, as well as Jump Desktop connect installed. This would not be an issue if I have a MacBook I could than plug the SDR directly into it, but SDRConnect does not run on iOS yet.
