How to Fix Malfunctioning Microphone in VMWare

Quick Tips
  • The most common cause of microphone issues in VMWare is incorrect audio settings in the virtual machine configuration, not a hardware problem with your microphone.
  • Reinstalling or updating VMware Tools is often the fastest solution, as it ensures proper hardware integration including audio input devices.
  • If another application on the host system is actively using your microphone, VMware may not be able to pass it to the virtual machine, so close conflicting applications first.
  • You may need to manually enable permissions for the virtual machine.

Not getting any sound in VMware can be a nuisance to troubleshoot because it can stem from either yours or the remote system’s settings. The good news is that most attempts on how to fix malfunctioning microphone in VMWare will usually deal with both problems or completely reset it.
