El Capitan sound issue

Recommended Posts

Hi

I'm fairly new to this and cannot readily find the answers by searching, so please excuse some newby questions. :wink_anim:

I've now got Snow Leopard, Mavericks and El Capitan VMs running in VMWare Workstation Pro 12 and have enabled VMWare Tools using the Menu bar VM > Install VMWare Tools as mentioned in the post by MSoK.

Everything appears to be ok, except sound does not play in El Capitan and there is no loudspeaker icon in the bottom right hand corner as well as no Sound Card listed in 'Devices' for it.

Am I right in thinking that this may be fixed by an updated darwin.iso?

I know that there is now v8.02, but in the download it has a 'windows.iso' file and not a 'darwin.iso' file (both of which are present in the 'Program Files (x86)\VMware' folder) - I'm wondering how should I apply the updated 8.02? (especially when Tools were installed by the menu).

Any help appreciated! :)

 

Cheers

 

Chris

you can update with just downloading the latest darwing tools com.vmware.fusion.tools.darwin.zip.tar from here https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/8.0.2/3164312/packages/

 

i always use the latest version of darwin tools from that site.

Not sure if donk has made some sort of auto update if you install if the tools is installed from the menu.
 

Just uninstall darwin tools from the app if it has a uninstall or just upgrade with the darwin tools from the link above should work nice :)

also check if you have enabled sound for the VM its in settings for the vm

Thanks for your reply.

 

I'm not sure how to uninstall the old darwin.iso, apart from just deleting it. Will that work with a menu install?

 

Also, if you put the new darwin.iso in the VMWare folder, shouldn't the windows.iso (from the download site) be changed also?

dont know if it will uninstall with just deleting it i have never used the menu install/uninstall.

I also ignore the darwin iso from the vmware folder. 

All i use is the darwin from the link i posted to be sure i get the newest version
