Here is a download link for a VHD for Virtual PC 2007 that has sound and.gasp. 1280x1024 video! Edit: It may have the same video card sound card as VirtualBox but it crashed in VirtualBox. I am creating one for VirtualBox right now. Virtual Box is just being a big pain since I can't seem to find the proper video drivers.

Microsoft Virtual Machine Audio Device Driver Microsoft Virtual Machine Audio Device Driver Failed. C-Media PCI CARD 6 Channel Cmedia-8738 Works. VM VirtualBox AC'97 AC'97 Works r49191: This is known to work best atm, see the installation in VirtualBox. But everyone was programming the hardware directly anyway (because the drivers weren't too great), so Creative finally released the hardware programming specs. DOS games can generally produce digital audio in VirtualBox, if they run (many do). SoundBlaster of SB16 (when available) digital audio should be chosen, if there is a choice. This device is compatible with a Creative Technology Sound Blaster 16. For Windows.NET Server and Windows XP guest operating systems: Windows.NET Server and Windows XP do not automatically detect and install drivers for ISA sound cards, such as the Creative Sound Blaster emulated in.
Device drivers improve sound, graphics, networking, and storage performance. If you perform a custom VMware Tools installation or reinstallation, you can choose which drivers to install.
The set of drivers that are installed when you install VMware Tools depends on the guest operating system and the VMware product. For detailed information about the features or functionality that these drivers enable, including configuration requirements, best practices, and performance, see the documentation for your VMware product. The following device drivers can be included with VMware Tools.
On Windows guest operating systems whose operating system is Windows Vista or later, the VMware SVGA 3D (Microsoft - WDDM) driver is installed. This driver provides the same base functionality as the SVGA driver, and it adds Windows Aero support.
For example, Windows Server 2008 defaults to LSI Logic SAS, which provides the best performance for that operating system. In this case, the LSI Logic SAS driver provided by the operating system is used.
VMware supplies a special SCSI driver for virtual machines that are configured to use the BusLogic virtual SCSI adapter. Virtual machines do not need this driver if they do not need to access any SCSI devices or if they are configured to use the LSI Logic virtual SCSI adapter.
The driver is included as part of the VMware Tools package or comes bundled with VMware ESX/ ESXi. It is available on the host as a floppy image at /vmimages/floppies/vmscsi.flp. The driver can be used in Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows 2000.
When you install VMware Tools, a VMXNET NIC driver replaces the default vlance driver.
- File Introspection Driver: The File Introspection driver uses the hypervisor to perform antivirus scans without a bulky agent. This strategy avoids resource bottlenecks and optimizes memory use.
- Network Introspection Driver: The Network Introspection driver supports NSX for vSphere Activity Monitoring.
Do not delete or replace existing inbox drivers for Linux that are distributed by your OS vendors. Deleting or replacing these drivers might cause conflict with future updates to the drivers. Contact your OS vendor or OS community for availability of specific updates to drivers.
See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2073804 for information about availability, maintenance, and support policy for inbox drivers for Linux.
If you use Workstation or Fusion, you can install the Shared Folders component. With Shared Folders, you can easily share files among virtual machines and the host computer. The VMHGFS driver is a file system redirector that allows file system redirection from the guest operating system to the host file system. This driver is the client component of the Shared Folders feature and provides an easy to use alternative to NFS and CIFS file sharing that does not rely on the network. For Linux distributions with kernel version 3.10 and later, a new FUSE based Shared Folders client is used as a replacement for the kernel mode client.
VMware Tools installation include the VMware AppDefense, a security management and monitoring solution. AppDefense agent can be installed on the guest virtual machine using the VMware Tools installer. However, VMware Tools cannot install the AppDefense component automatically. You need to install the component manually.
Please update this page with the status of each sound card that is tested. Please add a link to the site where the driver was obtained, driver version and OS version. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE LIST IS IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER. PLEASE KEEP IT THIS WAY.

| 4 Channel Low Profile PCI Sound Card with AC97 3D Audio Effects | CMI8738 | Works | r76032 | Driver is provided on the CD packaged with the sound card. I extracted drivers from the Setup.exe. This is a simple NSIS self-extracting installer. I decompressed it using 7z. I added installation files to my bootcd.iso for ReactOS. You can hear ReactOS sound for session opening and play any sound if you open a video just a few seconds after you heard ReactOS sound at opening session. However it will fail if you wait too much time. But at least you can hear ReactOS at opening sessions. | rboxeur | |

| SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio (Not HD) | SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio | Run w/o result | r72017 | Install worked and the start up sound will play but it has some static sounds when playing. Audio from other applications did not play anything. Sound only played during start up. After installing the driver ReactOS seemed to never be able to shutdown properly anymore. Unsure if that is related to the driver or not. Would always have to kill power to shutdown/restart because it would freeze. Also had to restart many times before sound would play and the driver would be fully installed. | Reactosfan34 | |

Notes: Testing
Latest versions of Winamp suffer an annoying bug (#1239) in ros that won't let you click on it as if the main window were transparent. I've done some tests and the last 'clickable' and 'working' version is 1.90. After 1.90 Winamp crashes but its main window is still clickable until 2.08. Special pack for ros made from 1.90 + 2.08 here. Gabriel_itAureal is known to use MF - multifunction entries in their INF. As we don't support such, one has to convert it back to normal entries before trying out the driver. Caemyr

If you can provide a debug log and compile ReactOS from sources, please change NDEBUG to YDEBUG in the following files:
You'll need to recompile those modules (make portcls_clean sysaudio_clean, wdmaud_kernel_clean make kmixer_clean)
