vmware sound problem

[Jim]

I checked the VMware documentation.  It said which sound card the 
virtual machine emulated.  I forget now which one, but do remember it 
was a creative card.  I had the right driver for it.

Later I did a little more digging and found out how to tell VMware to 
emulate a different sound card.  So I changed the virtual machine's 
sound card to a SB 16 then installed it in the guest OS.  The results 
are much better, but still there's a little stuttering.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
