Hi Frank, The VMware Tools have no effect on sound for FreeBSD guests. VMware doesn't ship an audio driver, but (as you seem to be aware) instead Player includes emulation for an Ensoniq chip. I recommend checking out VMware's Player discussion forum instead. The Workstation and Player devs keep an eye on that one. ;) http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/desktop/player - Ryan -- Ryan Beasley :: MTS, Guest Components - Applications :: VMware, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
