Hi,

I can't get audio to work with on a Windows XP guest running on VMware Workstation 7.0 and Ubuntu 9.10 host.

Windows fails to produce any audio output and the Windows device manager says the Multimedia Audio Controller is not working properly. Audio is working fine in the host OS.

When I open Multimedia Audio Controller properties it says:

Device status: The drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28)

If I try to reinstall the driver I get the following error message:

"Cannot Install this Hardware

There was a problem installing this hardware: Multimedia Audio Controller

An Error occurred during the installation of the device Driver is not intended for this platform"

Has anyone else experienced this problem?
