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

Why downloading #VMWare Workstation is such a pain in the back? Register on Broadcom, then go to some obscure download page, then the link is grayed out… what the hell!
