    Hi @amit_vmware13,

    you can do it this way:

    1)  You need to add a sound card to VM using host client
    2)  Then enable sound for Remote Desktop Protocol in a Windows virtual machine

    After that you can connect through RDP and sound hear sound

    This is assuming that it is a Windows Guest VM...

    vFouad, thank you for pointing it out . I have rechecked and tested options:

    Option 1. For Windows VM you don't need to add sound card inside a VM with you connect with RDP. When you use RDP a remote sound device will be added for remote sound playback.

    Option 2. For any types of VMs you can add soundcard using Host Client (step 1) also use VMware Remote Console  ​(Windows, macOS, Linux) to connect to a VM 2.
