virtual machine, same computer)

When attempting to connect to the sound card I receive the error:

Nov 05 21:52:28.723: vmx| http://msg.noAutodetectBackingQuestion Cannot connect virtual device sound. No corresponding device is available on the host.

However, sound is working on the host. No other devices seem to have an issue, even when the host initially has control - I am usually prompted to close host driver and allow the device to be used by the VM. The sound card however has never worked, always with the same error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as no sound on the guest OS is unfortunately a deal breaker for me with an otherwise stellar product so far.
