Hi,
Following up on my previous thread ( http://communities.vmware.com/message/1650816#1650816 ), and not having a solution yet, I'm looking for some help on how to restart the sound card from the command line in linux host - if possible at all - so I can incorporate it in a script to restore the sound automatically when it disappers from the Win XP VM. Something along the lines of:
>$ vmware -s sound.present="FALSE" Windows_XP.vmx
>$ vmware -s sound.present="TRUE" Windows_XP.vmx
... which doesn't work, but just to give an idea. I normally reset my sound card from the VM settings pop-up window, but for scripting purpose, I need it from the command line. Any ideas or is it possible at all ?
Thanks
Host ubuntu 9.10, WS 7.1.4, Win XP VM.
PS. Maybe it could be helpful attaching the relevant part of Win XP VM log, which shows the sound disappearance from the VM ( buffer overflow part - in pink ) and when I manually restart the sound card from the VM settings window ( Loading raw config - in blue ).
