Sound in OpenSolaris on VMware
Monday Sep 22, 2008
One of the things missing when you install OpenSolaris in a VMware virtual machine is audio. Apparently the driver for the audio device that VMware emulates isn't redistributable, so it isn't included as part of OpenSolaris.
To solve this, I grabbed a copy of the Open Sound System drivers package and followed the installation instructions. After a reboot, I had sound.
