I'm running a copy of VMWare Workstation 10 on Arch Linux, and I'm wondering if I can have a VM (of say, Windows 7/10) that grabs a wireless keyboard/mouse I have attached, and outputs video/audio to my HDMI display. My Linux system will still output solely to my DisplayPort display and optical audio, and be unaffected by this second kb/mouse/sound setup. My computer has the horsepower to do this (32GB RAM, 2x R9 280X GPU, i7-3770), and I've already got the keyboard/mouse hook to work, just not the sound (it's very choppy and my whole system sound will go over HDMI). If there's another solution to this that is easier that I haven't explored, please let me know.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
VM w/ separate mouse/KB/audio etc
