Vista - No sound in Vista?

Host XP Pro
Guest Vista Ultimate
Microsoft Virtual PC 2007

There is no sound in the Vista VM.

(Actually, there is no sound in the second Vista VM(Vista2), created from
the same local .iso as the first Vista VM(Vista1) which does have sound.)

I have the driver files from the first Vista VM where sound is working:

VIRTUALAUDIO .sys
drmk .sys
portcls .sys

Or so they are according to Device Manager of vista1 and I have copied
them to the shared folder common to both machines. However, I do not have
the install package.

Vista went to the internet could not find the install package but said to
reload VM Additions .iso. No joy there.

Vista2 Device Manager does not have an entry for "Sounds, Video and
Games". Vista1 does, which is how i tracked down the .sys files.

FWIW,
Vista2 Device Manager/Display Adapters has a single entry of
"VM Additions S3 Trio 32/64".
Vista2 was installed with hard disks 0 and 1. Vista1 was a single HD.
Vista2 OS was installed on HD 0.
Vista2 HD 0 is less than half full
Vista2 HD 1 is empty except for housekeeping files (Recycle and System
info)


Problem re-statement: No sound capabilities in Vista Ultimate under
Microsoft Virtual PC 2007.
(referred to as vista2, above)

Uninstall the additions and then reinstall them. Also make sure that
the VM is defined as for Vista when you create the VM, that's the only
way the Vista sound filter driver gets enabled.

Aha! I defined vista2 as "other" to bypass the memory allotment.
That should be correctable and vm additions will be uninstalled in the
interim and then resinstalled.


I had installed the first one but ran out of room shortly. The first one
will disappear soon.
This one, vista2, has a twice-sized primary disk and a secondary disk to
be used for program installation.
I had created the first one as type "vista" in 'new machine' and then
modified memory before I started it. Hopefully, that explains the
difference between the two.....

Thanks,

You're welcome, It should.
