Hi,

I still do have problem with sound on WinXP Pro host and Fedora 9 / xUbuntu guests.... and yes, I have audio activated. It shows as null audio. Mind you, this is on Dell D620 laptop (I believe it has Sigma Audio, but I am not 100% sure). Any ideas?

Cheers, R>

If you send something to /dev/null (or in this case a null audio device) it get's send to outer space

. Select a different output, like MS Direct Sound.
