Hi there,

If your upgrading to 2.0.5, I would make sure that all Guests are completely shutdown and that Fusion is not running. It never hurts to take a backup of your guest VM's as well while your at it...

After the upgrade your guest Windows install will most likely let you know that the tools need upgrading.

I installed 2.0.5, then I opened up my vm and I still had no audio... I went to "about" and it said i still had 2.0.

Hi William, I already have VMWare Fusion 2.0 - any other suggestions? Should I upgrade to 2.05?

Why don't you try updating tp the latest 2.0.5 version of Fusion?

You can download it at this URL. http://www.vmware.com/download/fusion/

I just started having the same problem. Does anyone out there know what is going on? Was there a recent upgrade or download from VMware or Microsoft that killed audio? I am running XP on a partition on my Intel based Mac.

I'm currently running Windows XP Professional using Fusion 2.0. I installed VMware Tools and everything is working great. The only problem is the sound. I've tried countless FAQs/tutorials and I've read some discussions. Unfortunately they were no help to me. My sound card is connected. My audio is turned on. I've tried disconnecting and connecting, and restarting the VM. So far, nothing. Any idea?
