Hi, My second update on my problem with of no sound in my virtual machines after upgrading to VMware 8.
After getting through the issues of allowing VMware support remote access to my Airbook, the problem for Windows 7 was solved fairly easily. There was apparently a screen popup that I had never encountered relating to updating the VMware Tools for this virtual machine. Once that was done, NVDA and all system sounds worked as expected. I have now cloned my Win7 machine and expect to do an upgrade to Win10 in the next day or so. There was no success getting sound working for my Fedora 22 virtual machine. Reinstalling the VMware Tools for Linux did not solve the problem. The machine launches and appears to be running, but no sound is communicated to the Airbook's audio device. I can ssh into the machine and ascertain that all the alsa settings are correct. An apaly command behaves as though sound were playing--but no sound eminates. Nor is espeak speaking. As my support person was apparently at the end of their knowledge for Linux vms, I decided not to worry so much about fixing this particular machine, but to take another tack toward a possible solution. I will try a fresh Fedora (or possibly an Arch) install this weekend. If that works, I won't mind deleting the now out of date Fedora. So, more news to come in this saga. Meanwhile, I realize I have a third issue as a result of VMware's remote tinkering. Guess I'll start another thread for that one ...
