Hi Darius,
sorry, sound doesn't work. I use a Mac OS X 10.7 guest running in Fusion 5.
In the vmware.log I find an AppleHDAEngineOutput device and the sound card is available (see below).
But in System Preference "Sound", tap "Output", I find "No output device found" only.
My Mac OS X 10.7 guest is running on a MacMini. This is a Fusion 5 guest, not migrated from a previous Fusion.
The VMware "Sound Card" is "On".
But I can't get any "Sound Effect" runing.
With regards, Lutz
p.s.
In general this is not a problem, indeed.
But the startup chime is helpful, sometimes.
