no sound in centos7 vmware vm
 

hi guys no sound in my centos 7 vm in vmware

i have tried both use default host sound card and selected HP speaker high definition sound from the drop down but none of them are producing sound.

in /proc/modules there is

snd_ens1371 25243 3 - Live 0xffffffffa03ac000
snd_rawmidi 30824 1 snd_ens1371, Live 0xffffffffa03b5000
snd_ac97_codec 130476 1 snd_ens1371, Live 0xffffffffa038b000
ac97_bus 12730 1 snd_ac97_codec, Live 0xffffffffa0345000
snd_seq 63074 0 - Live 0xffffffffa037a000

how can i use this information to fix my sound?

dont have to solve the problem for me just give me an idea of what needs to happen so i can research and try myself...thanks

ok so it didnt seem to be a problem with vmware or the os per say...
i ran: amixer set Master 100%

now i have sound...but i have no icon to control my volume in the panel
its not in the list to add to the panel...but im working on it

What desktop enviroment do you have on your Linux Box?

Why do you need sound on a VM?

I always turn this off from the host to optimize performance.

hey JockVSJock

im just using it for learning purposes and need to have sound when watching tutorials etc...

got it sorted though thanks
