I totally agree with that as I've found Fusion 1.1.1 to be more stable and less problematic then the other builds. The only reason I would use 1.1.2 or higher at the present time is if those versions specifically addressed an issue that was not working in 1.1.1 that I just absolutely had to have. That's not to say that every version doesn't have issues as we well know every version has some issues for at least some Users however it does seem that 1.1.1 is the sweet spot so far.

Just to let VMWare know... I've just encountered the same problem... all of a sudden I can ONLY get sound from XP thru the built-in speaker... not thru the LINE-OUT speakers connected to the Mac Pro.

I have sound just fine on the mac side with SOUND OUTPUT directed to LINE OUT

The only way I can get sound thru the external speakers on XP is to set the Mac Sound output to DIGITAL OUT - which then gives no sound output on the Mac side.

This makes no sense for several reasons... not the least of which is that the speakers connected to the Line out port are NOT digital... not USB...

I haven't tried resetting PRAM yet... I'll try that.. but wanted to leave this comment while I was logged on and had found this thread.

I'm running VMWARE FUSION 1.1.3 (942459)
I just uninstalled and reinstalled and reinstalled VMWare Tools... no difference.
It happens on XP under different programs (startup, IE 6, Adobe Captivate)

I checked the vmware.log and it shows:

Any help would be appreciated (upgrading to VMWare Fusion 2.0.1 to see if that fixes the problem is a little more than I want to tackle right now, especially as it seems like lots of people are having various issues with 2.0.1 anyway)
