Suggestions?
Upgrade everything? VMware sound didn't work properly previous to VMware 5.0 (reproduced by VMware support), and I (personally) never did manage to get system sounds to work consistantly until SuSE 9.3.
Mike-
As long as VMWare tools are installed I've had no trouble with sound and VMWare 4.5.2 under SuSE 9.2. The key thing, I've found, is that if you use Gnome and startup using the sound server or you're playing music or something in the host OS, then the guest OS can't share the sound device and thus sound won't work. Turn off the app hogging /dev/dsp (in my case), such as Gaim or XMMS and the guest OS sound works. That's been my experience. Preston
