also, while using the web to log in to another computer, you can NOT see another display. It looks as if they know about this, and their solution is "unplug the second display if you wish to see anything on that monitor"...
1) /Library/LaunchAgents/com.parallels.mobile.prl_deskctl_agent.launchagent.plist
2) /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.parallels.mobile.dispatcher.launchdaemon.plist
3) /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.parallels.mobile.kextloader.launchdaemon.plist
Note that these are in the root level Library folder (not the user or System Library folders).
You can leave everything else in place. Just be sure you reboot your Mac after moving these three files. At that point Parallels Access will no longer run in the background, including the Sound extension. I don't know of a way to just kill the Sound extension. Sorry. Switching away from it in the Sound system preferences pane can be tried. But I believe the background processes just activate it again. (Sorry I can't recall).
To restore these files, you can either run the full installer again OR you can put these files back into their respective locations then reboot your Mac.
What they are: They are preference (plist) files that trigger background processes at boot time that are needed to run Parallels Access. The actual code for those processes are located in the Parallels Access application. You have to run all three for Parallels Access to work. The file "com.parallels.mobile.kextloader.launchdaemon.plist" is the one that specifically activates 'prl_virtual_sound.kext', which is what's causing the problem.

Symptoms
After connecting to the computer with Parallels Access, the sound on the computer is lost.
Cause
This behavior is by-design:
When you connect to the Mac using Parallels Access, the output Sound adapter automatically changes to Parallels Virtual Audio Adapter to transfer the sound to the iPad. As the application is designed for the remote control, then there is no ability to use both Audio adapters at the same time.
Resolution
The workaround is to change the adapter manually (you will need to perform it every time you connect to the Mac computer):
Start System Preferences
Open Sound
Click "Output" tab
Select "Internal speakers" to fix the sound issue
