Vmware On 946intel Board Problem - sound card not recognized

Grafitti
I installed VMware on my desktop, which has a 946GZIS motherboard with a Sigmatel Audio Controller. It runs fine as a normal system, but in VMware it won't register the sound card. In system hardware, it's just got the yellow question mark and says the drivers are not installed. But i've tried installing it off the Intel CD, plus i've downloaded the drivers from Intel as well, but they just install and want to reboot the computer, but don't seem to have any effect.

The emulated hardware in the VM itself is will not be the same of what your actual hardware have. The driver is provided windows. The emulated audio device is actually "Sound Blaster AudioPCI". According to VMWare website, most OS already included this driver by default, including W2K and XP. You can have a read at this link, it's not for VMware workstation or player, but anyway, it's related. http://www.vmware.com/support/gsx3/doc/vid...undcfg_gsx.html

Anyway, what's the OS you're running inside the VM?

I'm running XP Pro inside the VM. Just because I want a test system to install new stuff on, and for my son's preschool games, which come with a lot of crap included that i don't want messing up my system. The thing I don't understand is why XP would recognize the sound card outside the vm but not inside. I tried using DriverBackup to extract the driver from my normal xp, but installing it just gives the same problem inside... won't change the "no driver installed" message.

Err, looks like you haven't get what i'm trying to explain. The soundcard in the VM is emulated as soundblaster. No matter what soundcard you install on your pc, it'll only be soundblaster inside VM.

Have you installed the VMWare tools package? This will install drivers for the guest OS for you.

I see. But then, since my Vm doesn't find the soundblaster driver in the XP package, where can i download this generic, if that is the correct term, standalone sound driver for the VM?

Yes, i did. That took care of the graphics, but not the sound.

There's instruction for that in the link i posted on top, but it's not for XP. XP is suppose to have the driver. Anyway, it'll be applicable.

  7. Online Board Games

    So a week or two ago a friend got his hands on an original NES and since we've been playing
    through a box full of old games he and his brother still had in their garage. This has been a great
    time and oddly enough a game we've enjoyed quite thoroughly has been Monopoly. This got me
    thinking that it would be great to be able to play some of the classic board games online but quick
    searches didn't pan out too much in regards to quality or that could play over the net so I
    figured I would see if any of you knew of monopoly or a site that has a bunch of old schoo....

  10. Choosing A Graphics Card
    (12)
    I have finally decided to get a dedicated Graphics card for my PC. My budget is around 300 USD. I
    have been going through the models at nVidia's website and found the models (8600 GT & 9600 GT)
    to my liking. My friend suggests that I should go for 8800 because it provides greater performance
    than 9600 GT. To me, perfomance is not as big a factor as compatibility, in terms of being able to
    play the latest games, is. In that respect is it better to go for the chip which offers higher
    memory? My motherboard is Intel 915GAG which supports PCI Express. Will a model stated....
