Lost Sound

Am running VMWare Fusion 4.1.1; Lion 10.7.2.  Haven't experienced problems until this morning when I noticed I have no sound in Fusion.  Sound is just fine on the Mac side. 

I updated Creative AudioPCI and still no sound.  Any ideas would be appreicated.

Hi Marjean,

1. Please check your device manager inside your vm's and see if there are sound devices/unkown devices. If there is/are unkown device/s install the drivers.

2. Reinstall vmware tools.

3. If you have no sound devices at all in device manager:

     -power off the VM

     -in the Fusion menu, go to Virtual Machine & Settings

     -Choose sound

     -Install a sound device

     -Power up the VMand wait for the drivers to install automatically.

Regards, Harold
