Vmware Workstaton 15 with Linux Mint - sound problem

Hi,

I have the latest workstation pro windows 10 x64 and latest linux mint on it, the problem is when guest is starting I have in message log "The default sound device cannot be opened.

A device ID has been used that is out of range for your system.

Sound will be disconnected."

But I can enable sound by going to Vmware Workstation setting then Guest Sound settings and I here can check "Connected" after this I have sound from Linux but this is working until first restart or shut down, after that the situation is the same and I need in setting connect sound card - this is annoying.

Is any way to fix this issue? I have read about some recommendations to edit .vxdm file but mine looks ok"

sound.present = "TRUE"

sound.pciSlotNumber = "34"

sound.autoDetect = "TRUE"

sound.fileName = "-1"
