I hardly ever use sound in a VM - that's why this section is a little
bit neglected ;-)
Drivers: 2k, XP and 2k3 use Soundblaster PCI 128 which is no longer supported by Creative. Last seen here ...
minimal (failsafe) example for a new VM |
sound.autodetect = "TRUE" |
only this 3 lines are required to
enable sound in a VM. |
sound.present = TRUE |
Warning: errors in sound related settings often result in hard to track down problems
do not use parameters just because they worked for someone else blindly !!!
Look at this example - it will very likely crash your VM without indicating an obvious reason in the logs!
|
sound.present = "true" |
main-switch to enable sound |
sound.startConnected = "true" |
enables sound at VM-start |
sound.allowGuestConnectionControl = "true" |
allow control via VMware-tools |
sound.virtualDev
= "sb16" |
all newer VMware-versions use the ES 1371 per default |
sound.autodetect = "true" |
VMware will detect the appropriate sound device automatically |
sound.fileName = "Creative
SB Live! Series" |
If VMware finds a sound-device that
can be used it sets appropriate value automatically |
sound.synth.operational = "true" |
set to "true" to enable
OPL3 / Yamaha synthesizer - |
sound.baseAddr = "0x220" |
try these settings to enable sound
with |
sound.maxLength = "value" |
use with values like 2 64 128 256
512 1024 |
sound.disableMasterVolume |
see KB 853 |
sound.highPriority |
Linux - see KB 1219 |
sound.baseAddr = "0x220" |
try these settings to enable sound
with |
sound.buffering |
sorry ??? |
sound.virtualdev = "sb16"
