Vista - WinXP Guest under WinXP Host VPC2007 Sound missing

I have reinstaled a WinXp guest under VPC 2007 running in a WinXP host.
I cant get the sound to work.
I have tried reloading the sound driver - no success.

What should I check next?

The necessary sound drivers are included with WinXP, trying to install
others is bad juju.
Remove any drivers you installed, reboot, and reinstall the VM
Additions,you shouldn't need to do more than that.

news:tqopv45m8u1l7o8ln90dcplv8r2m5aqmci@xxxxxxI have not tried installing any sound drivers. I installed the VM Additions
and after rebooting no sound.
It baffles me.

I have other guest PCs which have also stopped emitting sound so perhaps the
problem is in the host?
It is performing normally emits sounds etc. I am not aware of having changed
anything related to sound in the host but there might have been something in
recent MS updates? I will try to check the drivers to see if there is an
incompatibility.

Does your host PC have sound?
If none of your VMs have sound I don't think reinstalling drivers in
the VM is the solution. Does the soundcard show up in the VM as
working in Device Manager?

The problem has solved itself.
Exactly how I don't know. Perhaps me changing all the possible selections
and re-booting cured it.
I will never know - but I will keep in mind the help I got from all readers.
