Simple and fast howto to get the sound mixer working with vmware-server 1.0.5 and Kubuntu 8.4 Hardy Heron (and of course, ALSA)
Use the following commands in your terminal:
[source: js]
sudo -i
aptitude install alsa-oss
chmod +s /usr/lib/libaoss.so.*
cd /usr/lib/vmware/bin
mv vmware-vmx vmware-vmx.real
echo ‘#!/bin/bash’ > vmware-vmx
echo ‘LD_PRELOAD=libaoss.so exec /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx.real “$@”‘ >> vmware-vmx
chmod +x vmware-vmx
[/source]

Worked in Gutsy, tried the same with vmware workstation in Hardy. Still no sound.

I did this on my buddy’s machine (he prefers Linux, but he still needed XP in a VM for work-related things) and this worked just fine first try.

I just recently upgraded to a new kernel in Ubuntu Hardy Heron. So I most probably am runing the newest kernel. After upgrading the windows sound simply stopped in VMware-server.
However, this solution actually worked for me!!!
Thank you!

This doesn’t work for VMWare 6.5.1.

Thanks for this tip…I only use my Windows VM for Outlook, but they added a bunch of UC features recently so having sound working is going to be really nice.
