Hi all

[Gilles Gravier]

Chris,

(I love the fact that we have visually impaired people on this list - we
finally have a reason that nobody argues to for top-posting).

About virtualization technologies... and things like audio :

1) Make sure your VMware Player is configured to enable audio for the guest
2) Make sure you selected a virtualized audio hardware that is
compatible with the guest (for example in VBox you can specify AC97 or
SoundBlaster 16 as an audio device exposed to the host - check in VMware
what you have, and try different variations).

Since you are also using VBox, why use VMware? VBox is fine. Make sure
you have the latest 3.2 version (it's really nice) and that you have
installed the GuestAdditions which enable proper hardware sharing
between host and guest. But 3.2 adds direct support for absolute
pointers (enabled that in "System" for the guest, and by turning on USB
support) which enable direct MOUSE sharing without capturing the mouse
in VB even if you don't have GuestAdditions for that guest (for example
when running MacOS in VBox since 3.2 supports EFI booting - note that at
this time you can only virtualize MacOS if the host HARDWARE is a Mac).

Welcome to the Ubuntu community!

Gilles.
