Does anyone know why I'm not getting any sound in VMWare Fusion? I have XP Pro installed, SP1 I believe and VMWare Tools, yet I get no sound.
Running the latest version of Fusion.

a. Have you checked whether you have sound in OS X?
b. Is the soundcard connected? In the right lower corner you should see an icon representing the "sound device". Click on it and see if it is connected.
Which program are you running in XP that should sound something? Does the Control Panel -> Sounds give you something audible?

I haven't. But I will this evening and see if it makes a difference.
Yep, sound works fine in OS X. Sound is 'On' in the VMWare settings, and in VMWare tools. XP says there is no audio device installed. I have even tried installing the BootCamp Audio drivers and that doesn't work.
In Windows, Grand Theft Auto 1 and/or 2 should have sound, but nothing has sound.
For the record, GTA is a pain in the arse to play in VMWare, because you press Control and the arrows and it moves spaces. lol.
Hi there!
Sorry that you're running into some snags. You might want to bring this up on the VMware Fusion user forums, located here: http://www.vmware.com/go/fusionforums
We have a lot of sharp users, and engineers, that frequent the forum, and it's probably the best bet to kick off your search.
Best,

I upgraded to SP2 and we have sound now. Cheers.
Good for you. And now that I read all this I remember that the minimum specs for VMware were SP-2! Doh!!!
All well that ends well.
I have SP-2 and still no sound.
I had sound in Fusion version 1.2
no sound when upgraded to version 1.3
no sound in upgrading to version 2.0
nothing helps

I think there are tools you install in Fusion from one of the Menus that have all the setting bundles/drivers that enable sound 'n' stuff.
