VMWare Workstation no audio through Focusrite Scarlett

I have:

  • Windows 10 Pro host (1803, build 17134.48)
  • Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 (first gen) over USB (2ch, 16 bit, 96 kHz)
  • VMWare Workstation 14 Player (14.1.2 build-8497320)
  • A Ubuntu Studio 16.04 64-bit guest

With this configuration, VMWare is unable to produce any audio. It gives me "The default sound device cannot be opened: Undefined external error. Sound will be disconnected."

I have no idea what to do in order to get sound to work. Removing the Scarlett from the chain is not an option.
