Configuring Sound Adapter

If your host operating system is configured for sound, you can enable sound for a virtual machine. Currently only PCM sound output is supported (no synthesizer output and no sound input).

The virtual sound device is compatible with a Creative Technology Sound Blaster® 16 audio device. It supports sound in Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT and Linux guest operating systems.

The sound device is disabled by default and must be enabled in the configuration editor. To enable sound support:

  1. Open the configuration editor.
  2. Click the Sound entry.
  3. Click Install to add a virtual sound card.
    If you don't have sound on your host, or if it used by another application, you will get an error message when you try to run the VM, and the sound device will be disconnected. Use the Settings > Removable Devices menu entry to reconnect it.
  4. Click OK to exit the configuration editor or continue to add or modify another feature.
