Windows NT 4.0 sound problem in VMware

Post by WindowsBetalovr »

I can't sound to work in VMware with Windows NT. And I don't know how to fix this :cry: . I know a way to do it in 9x, but I can't get it to work here. Any help?

Hmm... That might work! I hadn't thought of that, even though it's for Virtual PC 2007

EDIT: That can't work in VMWARE! Any other suggestions?

It's because you need the drivers for it (It's a Sound Blaster 128 PCI)

At least this worked form me sometime ago...

or simply let VMWare emulate a SB16 instead.
add
sound.virtualDev = "sb16"

in your vmx file.

The last time I tried that didn't work for me ...

But that could work too.

Remember that the emulated SB16 isn't a PnP device and you have to setup I/O port, DMA channel, IRQ number by yourself. Default settings will not work.

It's still easy! All you gotta do is go into Control Panel, then click Multimedia. In one of those tabs there should be a device manage like panel. And then you click add in Audio Devices (or whats it's called). And then you scroll down to Sound Blaster (Not the one with PCI!). And then you click install or add. And then you just got to click next and next and it'll ask you to reboot
