    Worked in Gutsy, tried the same with vmware workstation in Hardy. Still no sound.

    I did this on my buddy’s machine (he prefers Linux, but he still needed XP in a VM for work-related things) and this worked just fine first try.

    I just recently upgraded to a new kernel in Ubuntu Hardy Heron. So I most probably am runing the newest kernel. After upgrading the windows sound simply stopped in VMware-server.

    However, this solution actually worked for me!!!

    Thank you!

    This doesn’t work for VMWare 6.5.1.

    Thanks for this tip…I only use my Windows VM for Outlook, but they added a bunch of UC features recently so having sound working is going to be really nice.
