Subject: Re: vmware sound problem
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.
