I was going to load up the Ubuntu 6.10 iso and install it on a virtual machine this way. I used easyvmx.com to generate the proper files and chose the ES whatever sound card it would use by default. Everything seemed to go OK until Orca loaded, and I got odd static-like noises instead of speech. I think sound is definitely broken some how in VMWare Player. I might uninstall that and try server instead. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeremy" To: Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 2:27 AM Subject: Re: VmWare > Late reply to one of the earlier posts on this subject.
