Hello forum,

Has anybody tried to successfully run VM's such as a tinycore VM inside Msofts  "Hyper V"  while
the Linux VM also has full sound capability?

If so, how did you do it and can you please tell me.

My research seams to suggest that the above is NOT directly possible. The reason it's not possible seems to be
because Hype V is a type one bare metal hypervisor....and is different from VMware and others in respect
of that. Msoft have never implemented it.

What i DID however learn is that it is
possible to share USB devices between Win HOSTS to Linux VM's.  The shared devices can be anything including
usb audio cards.  So i wanted to try that.

There are various solutions out there and they are software based. I have found a free solution
and wondered if anybody had heard of it or tried it.  It's TWO pieces of software. A tool for your
win host machine and a separate tool for your Linux VM.  It uses RDP to pass through the USB devices and thus eventually you get SOUND capability in your Linux VM.

They work in the sense that the VM has virtual ETHERNET..... it's called the "default switch" that you give to all your VM;s.  This Dswitch then senses the real ethernet socket of the real host machine running Hyper V. That real host machine also has real USB devices plugged into it. They are then shared over these tools below.

1) USB redirector client (for host win machine)  free
2) USB redirector for Linux (For the Linux VM)  free

i wonder if it could be installed into a TCL VM.

thx V

ahh...... my ORDERING is wrong earlier....

iThe 2 tools needed are

1) USB Redirect RDP  (that is the server part in Hyper V) 15 day trial......
2) USB redirect Linux (This is run in client mode in Linux) free

but i have a way around 1)....via timeFreeze  (for continually using trials)

While these softwares don't look easy to use....they indeed DO work exactly as stated.

For example, it's totally free to re-direct ALL TYPES of USB devices from MS machines to MS VM's with the free tools above...... Hyper V does not currently have native support to do that....it can ONLY redirect certain TYPES of USB devices in enhanced session mode..... of which Audio USB cards and many other devices are not supported.

In terms of MS machines to Linux VM's.....again, the tools above will re-direct all types of USB devices in either direction.....where-as Hyper V does not natively support ANY of that style of MS to Lin USB device re-directing. (or vice versa)

andyj:
Sound works fine from VMware Workstation and Player VM's. MP3's and videos on web pages, so yes it's possible.
