I have 3 sound cards, 2 PCI and 1 USB. I get 2 options, but only 1 card can be selected. I need to use 2 cards in some VM's.
Perhaps this comes under a feature request.
Only one sound card can be configured for guests

Re: Only one sound card can be configured for guests
Why do you need two sound cards in a VM? If you're doing some extensive work, I really suggest that you install the OS you need natively. A VM is for normal, simple work, not heavy duty music editting or the sorts.

I have SDR (Software Defined Radio) applications that need 2 sound cards. If I use XP in a VM it will allow me to check out functionality before moving to Linux SDR apps - most of the easy to run software is written for Windows.Sasquatch wrote:Why do you need two sound cards in a VM?
