You have to add it yourself. Firstly, power off your virtual machine completely. Don't just suspend it, power it down. Then, open the vmx file in notepad or text edit. If using text edit, turn smart quotes off in text input, you *need* regular quotes for this. If you can't find that, then copy a regular quote to the clipboard and paste it in when needed. You first have to change the tRUE on the sound.autodetect to false, like so: sound.autodetect = "false" Now, we have to change the sound device. Do a find search for sound.virtualdev. If you find it, then just delete the hdaudio and replace it with es1371, namely the creative soundblaster ensonic 1371. If you don't have the line in the file, add it manually. At any rate, the line should look like this: sound.virtualdev = "es1371" Now comes what we want, modifying the buffer. Again, search to see if you already have this line, but if you don't, set it to a value such as 20, making the line look like so: pciSound.playBuffer = "20" It's in milliseconds, 200 is the default. Of course, that's a little sluggish, so we want to change it to a value low enough for our liking. However, do keep in mind that not all systems will handle this new value very well. The point of the buffer is to accommodate for system resources by making it a passthrough with the sound buffer being filled with data, then the host removing it as it plays, and vice versa. Without the buffer, even slight system resource shortages can grind the audio to a halt. My system having 8gb of ram and the 2.7ghz processor can handle 20ms just fine, on an hdd even. In my time of running xp on the solid-state drive before the virtual machine became too big to run on the mac's hard drive, it worked beautifully with almost no crashes. However, a system with lower ram or a slower processor may not handle 20ms. You need to experiment to see where the sweetspot is. I'd say between 30 and 60 for lower systems. Anyway, save this, then restart the virtual machine. If all went well, you should see that the latency is gone.
