Recently I decided to give GeForce Experience another chance because I wanted to try out Moonlight/GameStream. I found that several components are required for it to work correctly.
In case you didn't know, Moonlight is an open-source program that allows streaming from a PC to any device using NVIDIA's proprietary GameStream protocol.
github.com
I haven't done any in-depth testing, but here are my best guesses as to what the components do...
Shield Wireless Controller: Necessary to use game controllers connected to GameStream clients (I tested with an Xinput controller on a Windows client).
Virtual Audio: Necessary for audio to work on GameStream without host audio enabled (Without it, Moonlight gives an error 418 which is related to audio devices)
Virtual Host Controller: Could be related to allowing GameStream clients to control the host (mouse and controller input)? Not sure about this one.
I can do more in-depth testing if necessary.
EDIT: Whoops, missed this thread...

Virtual Audio & Virtual Host Controller Components
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...
