Windows Forum / Virtual PC / February 2008Virtual pc sound drivers
I am having trouble getting the sound to work on my virtual pc. It wants a sound blaster 16 driver, but it is not compatable with a 32 bit system. Any ideas of what driver to download?? The audio card in the host computer does not matter. What operating system have you installed in the guest? If it is a supported Windows OS, have you installed the virtual machine additions? If not, start the virtual machine and select Install Or Update Virtual Machine Additions from Action Menu at the top of the vm console window. >I am having trouble getting the sound to work on my virtual pc.

Collin, I am running Server 2003 Enterprise edition, and the Virtual Machine additions are installed and updated. The audio service is started. The host is XP pro w/sp2. It is the virtual machine which is asking for the Sound Blaster 16 driver. Any other ideas? Thanks for the prompt answer! > The audio card in the host computer does not matter.

That's because sound is not normally needed in a server. See http://www.visualwin.com/Sound-Ent/ for the methodology for enabling sound in Server 2003 Enterprise. > Collin, > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] >> > Any >> > ideas of what driver to download??

So after enabling sound in the W2k3 guest you have sound in the XP host but not yet the guest? If reinstalling the vm adds does not help I am out of ideas. > Collin, > The sound is enabled (Windows Audio Services) and set to automatic.

Device manager still shows missing sound driver. Thank you for all of your help. CoCo :) > So after enabling sound in the W2k3 guest you have sound in the XP host but > not yet the guest?

Unfortunately Colin has been kind of leading you around in circles. The problem you're hitting is quite simple, Windows Server 2003 does not provide a driver for the Sound Blaster 16 card. http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2005/01/05/347358.aspx  SignaturePaul Adare MVP - Virtual Machines http://www.identit.ca After a number of decimal places, nobody gives a damn. Paul, Thanks for the website tip. I will give it a try later today. I am too tired to concentrate. I will let you know if it works. It will be a great project for my computer class as well.

However, the wdma_ctl.inf was not on any windows CD. I downloaded it from infdump.com. I had no problem finding the ctlsb16.sys on the CD. I followed the directions on the Virtual PC Guy's website. I now have sound on my Virtual PC Server 2003. :-) CoCo > Paul, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > > > http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2005/01/05/347358.aspx |
