I have been running VMWare Workstation 16 Player for a few years. I currently run three VMs (Win8,Win8, Win7), almost always only one at a time. The other day I connected the server to a pair of bluetooth earbuds. The VM I was using played sounds over the earbuds. When I disconnected the earbuds from the server, it correctly played sounds through the external speakers. But no sound came from any of the 3 VMs, but the sound level bar moved on the volume control, indicating there was sound. When I reconnected the earbuds, the VMs played sounds from them. So none of the VMs sound works when the server uses the original external speakers. I've tried all combinations of restarting the VMs and the server. I disconnected the virtual sound card and reconnected it, even though it is on a per VM basis and the problem is global to all VMs. Does anyone have any advice on how to restore normal sound to the VMs? Thanks and regards, Dan
