This is normal for VMware, as it requires kernel modules to be
installed.  Fix that with 
	sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl

NOTE:  You need the correct kernel headers for the new kernel.  Usual
procedure is
	sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)


If you run vmware in a terminal window, you will get output similar to
the following:
tim at marvin:~$ /usr/bin/vmware
vmware is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
for this system. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command:
/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl.

tim at marvin:~$

What packages did you install for the new kernel?  I suspect that you
are missing a package with kernel modules that are needed for sound and
for firestarter.
