Sometimes audio plays just fine under vmware player when I'm using oss_hdaudio. Usually, in fact, it starts out just fine. However, usually after a few minutes, new audio streams in the guest (Windows XP) start to sound like above. Rebooting the guest is not enough. I have to disconnect and reconnect the video sound device, or I have to power off the guest and then power it backup. This happens whether I use vmix or not. I am using vmware player 3.1.2, build 301548, the latest available.

Re: vmware on oss_hdaudio
I've only experienced this with vmware player. And it doesn't have to be a few minutes. I've just started up Windows XP, and had it happen after a minute or two of playing an mp3. I powered off the VM, restarted vmware player, and then had it happened with the windows start up clip.
I've only seen this recently, but I'm not sure if it's due to updating vmware player. Is there something in particular you'd like me to grep out of the strace output? Even running it long enough to get that problem with the windows startup sound, and I have a 270 meg file. I've compressed it down to 1.9 megs, and attached it. [Edit by cesium: erased attachment]

Re: vmware on oss_hdaudio
Well, it has the following strings (edited):
Odd. I guess that's not the place where vmware opens the card.
Code: Select all
open("/dev/dsp", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = 23
fstat(23, ...) = 0
close(23) = 0
open("/dev/dsp0"...
fstat(23, ...)
close(23)
open("/dev/dsp1", ...
fstat(23, ...
close(23)
open("/dev/dsp2"... ) = -1

Re: vmware on oss_hdaudio
For what it's worth, this is in the windows XP vmx file:
Code: Select all
sound.present = "TRUE"
sound.fileName = "/dev/dsp"
sound.autodetect = "FALSE"
