I would like to stream music to my Ventrilo server from a Windows XP virtual machine running on an ESXi host.

I have followed the instructions outlined here to stream music from something like VLC to the Ventrilo server on another machine and it works fine.

I have also added the lines:

sound.present = "TRUE"
sound.virtualDev = "es1371"
sound.fileName = "-1"
sound.autodetect = "TRUE" 

to my .vmx file, as suggested here (http://communities.vmware.com/thread/191878), to get a sound card in my VM.

The problem I am having is that it seems that my VM is not outputting any sound, so there's nothing to stream through Ventrilo. The Device Manager on the VM shows that this new sound card has drivers and doesn't appear to have any concerns with it.

Can someone point me in the right direction to get my desired outcome?

Thanks!

PS. sorry for the long 2nd link, apparently I can only post 1 hyperlink with this low reputation.
