Workstation Player 15.5.6 breaks host audio on Windows 7

Not sure why or how but the update from Workstation Player 15.5.2 to 15.5.6 yesterday broke my Windows 7 host in weird ways.

* First noticed Firefox was not showing videos on websites

* Found Youtube was making Firefox hang

* Noticed system had no audio at all

* Winamp seemed to hang when opening the audio device

* Windows Mixer hung when changing settings

* Virtual machines had no video at all (nor audio)

* Ran System Restore to before VMWare update, issues went away

System is Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, Dell Vostro 3350 (laptop)

Gonna stay on 15.5.2 for a while.
