Hi,
I'm currently running VMware Fusion 2.0.5 on Leopard 10.5.8 (Unibody MBP 15") and have been encountering some strange audio issues with my Vista VM (Vista Ultimate 32-bit). I have audio connected, with the VM configured to use the OS X sound device. This works fine when I am using the built-in speakers on the laptop. However, if I connect a USB headset (Logitech ClearChat Comfort), I find that the audio no longer plays, either through the laptop speakers or through the headset. When I go into the system audio settings, I can see that OS X is using the headset for audio input and output; iTunes happily plays music through the headset but Windows audio is no longer played.
If I connect the headset directly to the VM and change the Windows sound settings to use the headset rather than the VMware Audio device then I get sound through the headset but that means that I can't get OS X sound through the headset. I would expect that when I make the head set my preferred sound device in OS X that VMware should automagically start using it for my VM. Is there a settings that I have to configure somewhere to allow this?
Thanks in advance!
