[SOLVED] No sound with vmware

Question

I'm getting no sound with vmware, not sure why
Here's what I've been trying to test things:
$ cat /dev/urandom | aplay
Playing raw data 'stdin' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
Here's some alsa info, if it helps:
$ aplay -L
null
Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)

Answer 1

Don't think I was clear enough, but arch is installed as a vmware guest. Below is the requested output from the alsa-info script:
