What magic incantation do I need to perform to make #Vmware Workstation and modern #linux audio work together? Seeing major choppy audio in various distros when running within this host-hypervisor combo, any fix? Assuming a compatibility issue with #pipewire and vmware's emulated audio device, but not sure how to fix

I tried that VI-specific distro yesterday and it was so glitchy I could barely understand it. If you work it out, please let me know.

@FreakyFwoof we do some VM auto detection to adjust to safer settings, might need to be extended flight route situation?

could try to fiddle with the sound.VirtualDev setting, I do believe both Hdaudio and es1371 are supported. In my experience though es1371 didn't give much improvement in Linux distros and VMWare. Sadly Broadcom is really squeezing the life out of that product.
