    VMWare Sound Issues

    I recently installed a copy of XP on a VMWare partition and I've run into a problem in trying to get sound out of Windows. When I try to sound to connect, i get the following in a pop-up window:

    Error: Failed to open sound device /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
    Failed to connect virtual device sound.
    Can anybody help me with this?

    I have to shut down anything in Linux that could potentially use sound (like Firefox), before running VMWare Player, for sound to work in VMWare Player.

        I tried the link and it didn't work. I'm not really concerned about getting sound, but it would be nice to have for a couple of things. Thanks!
