Sound issue

$

I have installed VMware Workstation Pro (for personal use) on my computer. I then installed the latest version of Ubuntu to test it. The installation went well.


Now to the problem, I hear the startup sound in Ubuntu but when I go into settings and under 'Sound', the sound disappears and I quickly see an error message at the bottom right of the screen. I didn’t have time to read it, but it said something about a sound error and some ID number.


When I look under sound settings, the wrong sound card is shown under 'Output device'. This happens when I only look in the sound settings. My physical sound card is a RealTek Audio HD. I have upgraded everything in Ubuntu and installed Open-vm-tools.


I have tested using Ubuntu in VirtualBox, and the sound works fine there. So it is something in VMware Workstation Pro that cannot detect my sound card.


I was looking forward to testing Ubuntu and especially to trying out Linux. With this sound problem, it ruins the experience.


Can someone explain how I can go about solving this sound problem?
