I think you have a misunderstanding on how VMWare works. What it does is
create virtual machine inside your host OS (in your case, Linux). It then
creates some virtual devices, like a soundblaster soundcard, a generic
video device etc, which it connects to your real devices. But as far as
hosted OS is concerned, it only sees the virtual devices, which means you
don't get the full potential of your device.
