To add a sound card to a VM:
Warning: Backup .vmx file before making changes
- Login to ESXi host where VM resides using SSH
- Navigate to /vmfs/volumes/<location of vm folder>
- Shut down VM you wish to add a soundcard to
- Edit .vmx file using VI editor
- Add the following to the .vmx file at the end:
sound.present = "true"
sound.allowGuestConnectionControl = "false"
sound.virtualDev = "hdaudio"
sound.fileName = "-1"
sound.autodetect = "true"
- Save .vmx file
- Power on VM and once running you will see the soundcard device
This will show up in VM settings as an unsupported device.
