Before upgrading to version 2 sound work on at least my xp sp3 vm. Now that I've upgraded sound does not work on my old xp sp3 vm, or on my oracle (red hat) linux vm. It also does not work in the new xp sp3 vm that I created for v2 (i.e. not an upgraded vm) and my new v2 linux install. None of them have sound support. It looks like it is working on xp but just not making it to the actual hardware side. Looks like others have had this issue but no solutions have worked so far.

I have tried disabling the sound from xp, restarting, and then reenabling. I have tried disabling and reenabling the sound from the fusion console. I've also tried deleting the sound card driver and letting windows reinstall it on its own. None of these have worked. I've not really tried anything from the linux side becuase honestly, it's not all that important that I have sound over there.
