Use alsa-oss and choose /dev/dsp for vmware sound, then everything seems OK here after the following steps

1.sudo su
2.pacman -S alsa-oss
3.chmod +s /usr/lib/libaoss.so.*
4.cd /usr/lib/vmware/bin/;mv vmware-vmx vmware-vmx.real
5. echo '#!/bin/bash\nLD_PRELOAD=libaoss.so exec /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx.real "$@"' >vmware-vmx
