How to set up audio on an ESXi 5 guest VM?

Question

Windows

A guest machine with windows 2008 r2 is running on ESXi 5. In the vsphere client, in the settings of virtual machines, you can add a drive, a network card, but you cannot add an audio card. How can I turn on the sound on this machine?

Answer 1

The easiest way to get sound from it is to connect via RDP with the sound forwarding checkbox turned on. This is how it works for me, for example, the Lync client on the terminal server.
