Re: Audio problems with Debian, speech output and the latest VMware Workstation release :-(



Hello Christian,

If a VMware update broke your sound system, couldn't be easier to contact them directly?

Best regards.

Hi,

I unfortunatly have to use Debian in a virtual machine on a Windows 10 system. The virtualitation software I am using is VMware Workstation 15.

Since the latest update of VMware Workstation to the version 15.5.5 the sound output and therefore also the speech output is stucking. It sounds like the system is under heavy load and speech is only outputed in fragments with little breaks in between... Its a little bit difficult to explain...

I have to systems with the same configuration and on both systems the problem occures. I've changed nothing in the virtual linux system and on the host system itself, only VMware Workstation was updated to the latest version (15.5.5). So I am very sure it is a problem with VMware Workstation....

I just want to ask if anyone here is also using VMware Workstation on Windows 10 and has the same problems after the last update. And maybe anyone has an idea how to solve the problems, maybe I can do something on the linux system or in the settings of the VM. I downgrated the system to an older version of VMware Workstation and anything is good again, but if there is a solution for Workstation 15.5.5 it would be good to know.

Ofcourse I will contact VMware and ask for a solution, but I am sure they will not be able to help because they do not know enough about working with a screen reader, speech output, e.g..., but I will try anyway.

Cheers and thanks for any help or idea,

  Schoepp
