Hi guys, I want to ask you an information. I've an Imac and vmware fusion with Windows 8.1. I've bought an audio usb called Inline from Amazon, that works very well connected in a normal Windows pc. But when I connect it to a virtual machine the audio doesn't work. What can I do to use it with vmware? I want to use the audio usb only for the virtualized Windows, because in this way I can reduce the lag of the audio.
When I connect the audio usb in the control panel playback, the audio is listed and tells ready. But I can't hear nothing, also connecting headphones in the audio usb jack.
Thanks,
Ambro

Hi Ambro,

USB in VMWare Fusion is quite iffy. I tried it and while audio did work, it broke up massively. My suggestion to you is, visit bryansmart.com and go to the reducing lag in vmware heading, and theck out what he suggests there.

Thanks Soundworx, but it's normal that when I connect audio usb doesn't work automatically? In the Brian Smart article at the end suggest to use audio usb to reduce the lag completely.

If that is not working for you, then you may try the other suggestions Bryan talks about. He says that the USB support was stable, but I have never had good experiences with it. It may work for some people, and it may not for oters. If you do use his suggestion, this will bring the lag down to a bearable state. If you need help with applying this, then either write back here or PM me. PM might take longer as I do not check them often.

Ok thanks Soundworx, I've already applied the Brian suggestions, bringing the lag to 14 ms. But for audio usb, when I connect to Windows in vmware, I have to do something to make it works or it should works automatically? You connect the audio usb in a particular way?

I only tried it on Windows XP, so I am not sure.
