Resolved Issues

• Using audio conferencing software on a Windows 8 guest operating system caused a severe echo during both video and audio calls
  When you used audio conferencing software on a Windows 8 guest, participants using the built in speaker, as opposed to headphones, received a severe echo during both video and audio calls.
• Could not access Help from Virtual Machine Settings dialog box
  You could not access the Help system by clicking Help on the Virtual Machine Settings dialog box.

Known Issues

• Using a USB headset with a Windows 8 or later guest operating system does not work
  Because most USB headsets expect a USB 2.0 controller, whereas Windows 8 and later guest operating systems use a USB 3.0 controller by default, you cannot use USB headsets with Windows 8 or later guests.
  Workaround: Change the USB controller of the guest from USB 3.0 to USB 2.0.
