2 Find log entries for the webcam or microphone.
a Open the debug log file with a text editor.
The log file with real-time audio-video log messages is located at /tmp/vmware-<username>/vmware-
RTAV-<pid>.log. The client log is located at /tmp/vmware-<username>/vmware-view-<pid>.log.
b Search the log file to find the log file entries that reference the attached webcams and microphones.
The following example shows an extract of the webcam selection:

Warnings are shown if any of the source audio levels for the selected device do not meet the
PulseAudio criteria if the source is not set to 100% (0dB), or if the selected source device is muted,
as follows:
vthread-18| I120: RTAV: static void AudioCaptureLin::PulseAudioSourceInfoCB(pa_context*,
const pa_source_info*, int, void*) - Note, selected device channel volume: 0: 67%
vthread-18| I120: RTAV: static void AudioCaptureLin::PulseAudioSourceInfoCB(pa_context*,
