Hallo. I'm a newbie in Linux.
I have installed VMware Workstation 3.0 on a Windows xp host. The guest operating systems are Suse Linux 8.0 And Mandrake 9.0.
In both configurations the sound don't works.

I have a Siemens Fujitsu Scenic L Pentium III 866 Mhrz
Mod. i815e PS
The driver recognized under Windows xp is "SoundMax integrated Digital Audio".

I executed the command lspci and this is the output:
pbws5110lx:~ # lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX Host bridge (AGP di sabled) (rev 01)

00:11.0 Ethernet controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet LANCE] ( rev 10)

Can somebody help me?

Thx

Ok VMWare is like a virtual machine, the hardware you really have doesn't really matter to a OS inside VMWare. VMWare uses a fake hardware sound card based on a SoundBlaster Ensoniq Audio PCI.

Look at page 248 of the VMWare manual.

First thx for your prompt answer.

I have tryed yet all SoundBlaster end Ensoniq cards with the settings of vmware:
io port -- 0x220
irq -- 5
8-bit DMA -- 1
16-bit DMA --7

it cames everytime the error in the xconsole:
kernel: Ensoniq AudoPCI soundcard not found or device busy
modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-0
last message repeated 3 times

what can i do???

thx and bye
