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

That depends on which sound card you have. If you have a card capable of handling multiple threads, such SBLive! or newer, it should work anyway. For other cards, if you start the program with esddsp <program name> for gnome, or artsdsp <program name> if you're running KDE, and the sound output will be routed through the sound daemon and you should get nice multiplexed sound from multiple applications

You're right, actually. I have only had VMWare since putting together my new computer (which uses an on-board Intel faux audio card).
For other cards, if you start the program with
esddsp <program name>
for gnome, or
artsdsp <program name>
if you're running KDE, and the sound output will be routed through the sound daemon and you should get nice multiplexed sound from multiple applications
That's good to know. For the original poster especially. Either way I've found the short term solution to be just to kill the offending app and not worry about it. Not entirely elegant, but I don't use sound much in VMWare. Only when I want to watch a movie trailer I can't watch in the host or something like that. Otherwise, VMWare's purpose in my life is the following... #1 - Developing ASP.NET apps (which is also done under Mono, but is sometimes less flakey under Windows) #2 - Allowing my wife to sync her training software with her Palm (she's a triathlete) Otherwise I would probably contribute VMWare to someone, same with Windows. But #2 is the sticky point. :-) The wife needs her Palm software that syncs with a Windows-based client. Preston

I have some build in sound card on my motherboard - a Asus P4P800-VM: http://uk.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=12&l3=33&model=184&modelmenu=1

Thank you, but I am not sure I understand - which program do you want me to run with the artsdsp prefix? I am running Linux as my primary OS and my guestOS is WinXP. Please spell it our for me. :-) Janus -- Roskilde University, Denmark. Department of Technology and Social Science. International Development Studies.

artsdsp vmware That should get it to work.
