My (usb) Meteor Mic appears to my computer (win xp) as a usb sound card - with the mic as the recording device and the audio output jack on the mic as its sound card playback device.
On my host, I can see 2 sound devices (i.e. this mic plus my normal sound card) and so I can select the mic as my record device and the regular sound card for my playback.
In vmware player (ver 4.0.4) when I plug in the mic, it shows up as a removable device which I can connect and disconnect.
Under the vm settings, there is only 1 sound card allowed, and so I can only choose between my regular sound card and this usb mic, but not both.
So it appears that I cannot split the input/output across the mic and the normal playback to my speakers as I can in the host.
Is there any way to accomplish this in vm player?
It also won't let me switch between the two devices without reconfiguring the vm and then rebooting the guest.
I'm trying to use the mic for speech recognition in my windows 8 guest - which works, but then I have to use the mic for sound playback, which is not very good (it's only designed to be used with headphones so you can hear yourself with no delays - and so the volume level is quite low).
