I'm fairly certain that he'd specify if it were a pc speaker type sound, something that would play, even without the vm ever booting, just as it did on mine, but if it's any other type of sound, then that's more than what I had on mine and I'm incorrect. I'd of guessed that if he were able to somehow access the machine through other means, SSH or whatever and get it to play a sound, he'd of also posted any errors he came across with speakup and it's parts. Without knowing for sure that he's actually able to fully boot it and reach a console, it's hard to say. Depending on how the vm is configured, I'd probably think it worth while to see if the installation can get an address through DHCP on the router, but unless he has some way to verify how far he's making it after he powers on the vm, I don't know. That's about the time I'd be asking someone to read the screen to me to get an error so I could post it here on this wonderful list. :) Take care.
