I have VMWare Server 1.0.7 running on openSUSE 10.3 on an AMD64 x 2 box, hosting WinXP SP 3. Everything works fine except for the microphone (the speakers work OK). For test purposes I've used a small WinXP partition and have configured the microphone there with no problems - so the hardware is OK.
Ok.
I don't know if the microphone is working under openSUSE since I don't really know how to test it.
I think this is what you should figure out first. Just start one of the mixer utilities and play with the settings till the microphone is heard. Unless the host system sees the microphone, the guest will not.
One thing I have noticed is that the default device is described as Realtek AC97 Audio on the Windows installation, but as Creative SoundBlaster PCI in the virtual installation. YaST2 describes the sound card as IXP SB400 AC'97.
Yast sees the real hardware, while XP sees the "faked" or virtual hardware that vmware presents it. All vmware clients will see that "soundblaster".
Does anyone have any ideas?
I haven't need of a microphone under vmware, so I haven't tried. I don't know wether it should work or not.
I've a feeling that this might be the wrong place to ask, but after the success in getting USB to work I thought I'd try my luck. If anyone has a suggestion as to a better place to post, I'll take the advice.
There is also a virtual list in opensuse, too :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
