Configuring Sound in VMware Workstation

Adding Vm Horizon Software On To A Mac Download

VMware Workstation provides a Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 compatible audio device and supports sound in Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows .NET Server and Linux guest operating systems. The VMware Workstation sound device is disabled by default and must be enabled with the Configuration Editor (Settings > Configuration Editor). Sound support is currently limited to PCM (pulse code modulation) output (that is, any application that produces sound without using MIDI).

Jan 28, 2010  This is the ninth article in a series on the basics of VMware View. One of the most important VMware View components is the Connection Server, because it ensures that users are connected to their virtual desktop. In the series so far, we have only installed one VMware View Connection Server, and if it went down or became unavailable we would be in a heap of trouble.

Setting Up a Virtual Sound Card on a Windows Host

1. Be sure your physical sound card is installed and configured properly on the Windows host operating system. Refer to the documentation for your particular Windows operating system. You may need to install additional software on your system to support sound. VMware cannot provide support assistance in configuring sound on your host operating system. Please contact your host operating system support provider or sound card manufacturer for help.
2. Add a virtual sound adapter to the virtual machine. By default, the virtual sound adapter is not installed in the virtual machine.
3. In the Configuration Editor (Settings > Configuration Editor), click Add. The Add Hardware Wizard appears.
4. Select Sound Adapter, then click Next.

   If you have more than one physical sound adapter in your host computer, you can choose which one to connect to the virtual sound adapter. You can also choose whether the virtual sound adapter should be connected when the virtual machine starts.

5. Click Finish.
6. Click OK to close the Configuration Editor.
7. Configure the guest operating system to use the VMware Workstation virtual sound adapter. This adapter is compatible with a Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16.

Setting Up a Virtual Sound Card on a Linux Host

1. Be sure your physical sound card is installed and configured properly on the Linux host operating system. Refer to the documentation for your particular Linux operating system. You may need to install additional software on your system to support sound. VMware cannot provide support assistance in configuring sound on your host operating system. Please contact your host operating system support provider or sound card manufacturer for help.
2. Add a virtual sound adapter to the virtual machine. By default, the virtual sound adapter is not installed in the virtual machine.
3. In the Configuration Editor (Settings > Configuration Editor), click Sound.
4. Provide the device name in the Device field. Type in or browse to the device that represents your sound card (for example, /dev/dsp).
5. Click the Install button, then click OK to save the configuration and close the Configuration Editor.

Setting Up Sound in the Guest Operating System

Use your guest operating system's configuration tools to set up the virtual sound adapter.

Known Limitations of Sound Support in VMware Workstation

Sound support is provided for Sound Blaster compatible PCM (pulse code modulation) output. This gives you the ability to play .wav, .au and Real Audio formats, among others.

MIDI sound is not supported.

Game ports and devices such as joysticks attached to game ports are not supported.

Sound does not work well with certain games, especially fast, interactive games.

Improving Sound Performance

If you notice that sound skips in your guest operating system, you may try adding two variables to your virtual machine's configuration file (.vmx on Windows hosts, .cfg on Linux hosts). These variables are sound.maxLength and sound.smallBlockSize.

VMware cannot provide you with specific settings to use; how these settings affect your sound quality depends on many factors, including your environment and the way you are employing sound. But here are some general rules of thumb to use when setting these variables:

• Set these values to powers of 2, such as 64, 128 or 512.
• To overcome skipping, setting these values lower than 512 should help.
• The sound.maxLength setting should be greater than or equal to the sound.smallBlockSize setting.

Hello,

We are using usb redirection instead CDR.

Until View Horizon Client 4.9, we were able to make disappear the menu 'Shared folders' in 'Options' by adding the registry key 'ForcedbyAdmin=true' and it also disabled CDR popups.

But the behavior changed with 4.10 .... the menu is still in the options and the client asks if we want to do a CDR share like user folder and suchs.

Is there a correct way to make disappear again the 'Shared folders' options and the CDR popup at login with Horizon View Client 4.10?

Thank you!

______________________________________________

To prevent the client from sharing additional folders (that is, folders that are not specified with the default shares key), create a string value named ForcedByAdmin and set its value to true.

When the value is true, the Sharing dialog box does not appear when users connect to the remote desktop in Horizon Client. The value is false (clients can share additional folders) by default.
