Hello,
I converted a desktop to a VM to work on VMware Workstation using VMware Converter.
After I migrate this VM from VMware Workstation to ESXi 6.7.
Now I have 2 issues :
How can I solve this issue?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
ESXi does not support sound controllers. You must remove this device from the VM's configuration.
Thanks for your quick reply daphnissov
In fact I saw some links like this sanbarrow.com or like this https://bohemiangrove.co.uk/sound-from-a-vm-on-esxi/ or this

I thought it was possible
Is it only for ESXi 5 and not 6.7 ?
If I go in settings on the virtual machine I don't see device for audio in the list.
But if I edit the vmx file I see some lines with audio.
How can I remove this ?
Thanks
It is technically possible but unsupported and can lead to instabilities. You will have to manually remove those lines from the VMX file and then reload the virtual machine.
Thanks it works!

> Device 'HD audio ' has a backing type that is not supported.
This does not mean that ESXi does not support virtual audio devices.
It means that the audio device specified in the vmx-file of your VM is invalid for an ESXi-host.
To clean up remove all parameters that start with sound.*
from the vmx-file and only keep
sound.present = "true"
Then ESXi will try to assign a soundcard for that VM on next boot - if your host supports that.
