I am new to VMWare.
I downloaded Fusion 12 onto my Mac (10.15.6), then imported a Parallels VM with Win8.1. Everything worked fine, I installed the VMware Tools. Rebooted the VM. I added the shared folders from my Mac I need for some of my Windows apps.
Everything works I just don't have any sound. Under Virtual Machine the sound card settings use System Default for input and output. I also tried Build-in Output and Built-in Microphone, but sound still does not work.
I have not figured out yet, how to get the sound to work.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi Gerd,
The first thing I would try is to remove the virtual sound card from the VM and add it back in again.
I would do that with the VM shut down. It might work when running, but unsure about that.

Hi gerdgoebel ,
Could you try the following steps?
1.Shutdown the imported W8.1 VM
2.Remove the sound card via VM settings -> Sound Card -> Remove Sound Card,
3.Re-add it via VM settings -> Add Devices... -> Sound Card
Hope that could help.
This resolved my problem. Sound is working in W8.1 and W10 now.
Thank you.
