                My own personal documentation for running legacy versions of Windows (notably Vista) under modern versions of VMware.
              
          
        
      
        
  
      
    Audio issues (stuttering, crackling)

Comment out this line from your VMX file: sound.virtualDev = "hdaudio"
If you don't want to do that, change the audio format settings in Windows to "24 bit, 44100 Hz (Studio Quality)" or higher, which greatly improves (※ but does not completely fix) the issue.
