Hi,

You need to edith your machine, and add a device, in this case Sound,
you will see once you are in there.
also you need to make (from the VMWare menu) usb available for the
virtual machine.
you do not need VMPlayer, just with your VMServer should work but by
default sound and USD did not come enabled.
if you can't find where to do it, later I can send you a screenshot.
regards,
Guillermo.
