Hi All,
I'm relatively new to VMWare View 5.1. We have linked clones running Windows 7 Enterprise 32bit, the virtual machines have 1x vCPU, 2GB RAM and 50GB Thin Provisioned C drives. The full View Agent is installed on the virtual desktops, with the Windows Firewall turned off. The VMWare recommended batch file has been ran to enhance performance.
The client operating system accessing the virtual desktop is Windows XP SP3. We have a problem where we are trying to connect our USB headsets directly to the virtual desktop using the connect usb option within the VM Client Window. The USB headset redirects fine, the guest Windows 7 virtual desktop installs a driver for it and the headset appears as a default audio device. The problem is all audio comming from the virtual machine to the USB headset is static, nothing recognisable. The audio we get does tie in with when we are producing the sound which indicates it is something the virtual machine is generating and not just interference.
We have tried other headsets, exact same problem.
The audio does work fine however when we don't redirect the USB headset to the virtual machine and just allow the client machine to produce the sound as PCOIP audio traffic.
Has anyone else seen this before and does anyone know if VMWare support the redirection of USB headsets?
