VMWare Workstation sound

[sunborn]

So I just got Yosemite up and virtualized in ESXi.

 

However, I am using workstation as a console like the KB says to do after 6.5.

 

So the benefit of the workstation is that sound can come out if you add the adapter. This works just fine with a window$ VM. (BTW the documentation says it shouldn't work)

 

In the yosemite VM it just produces a white-noise static when the sounds should be played.

 

This tells me that it is a driver issue, and should be able to work in theory.

 

However, does anyone have experience with VMWare workstation and the sound in OS X?

 

Thanks,

I have the same issue with High Sierra on ESXi 6.5 using the HD Audio sound device. I have tried the other two options: Sound Blaster 16, but MacOS doesn't recognize it as at all, and Ensoniq 1371, but ESXi won't accept that because it seems to require hardware to work. Anyone had any luck getting audio to work with MacOS running on ESXi?
