Question : Add virtual sound card to virtual machine

Hello, for demonstration purposes a user needs to produce sound from a Vsphere virtual machine and stream the sound through remote desktop connection and have therefore requested that I should provide a virtual sound card for that very purpose.

A the moment the virtual server cannot even start sound at all since no corresponding audio driver is installed so basically there is no sound to redirect to the remote client in the first place.
What I had in mind that perhaps there were some kind of "virtual redirect driver " that could be installed on the guest machine so the sound will be RDP-redirected and processed on the client machine?

I am pretty sure that this cannot be done without having physical sound cards in the host servers and a software-based solution only is not possible or am I wrong? Also, I suppose you would need to add sound cards to all host servers or there would be problems with the HA functionality?

So far it seems that this is not possible so could someone please confirm that this is the case so I with a good conscience respond that this is not possible to achieve?
