hi if anyone is experiencing a lag in sound when using vmware fusion, try this this fix my sound delay when pressing keys there are 2 methods method1: plug a usb sound card in and connect it to vmware and windows method 2: follow these steps to use the macs sound card at the same time with vmware this will decrease the delay between key presses and sound response 1. navigate to the .vmware file of your os that you installed with vmware google where the files are stored on a mac if you can't find it 2. when on the .vmware file e.g win xp.vmware right click and show package contents 3. find (os name) .vmx e.g win xp.vmx right click, choose open with, and other... next find the pop up menu that says recommended applications and set that to all applications then browse and open the file with text edit then at the bottom insert the following line
pciSound.playBuffer = "14" (note I set mine to 14 witch is the lowest value my mbp can handle before choppy sound occurs) you can try this and if not go up 3 numbers higher or so then save the file note make sure fusion is not running while editing the file hope this help people with sound issues thanks and please right here to let me know how it goes I will try my best to answer questions to the best of my knowledge note I take no responsibility if something breaks I googled found a solution tried, and it worked flawlessly over here on my machine I am running latest ver of fusion 3.1.2 thanks again and take care -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
