I am running VMware Workstation 6 on Ubuntu 8.04, and I always get the error message

"Cannot connect virtual device sound. No corresponding device is available on the host."

78975


I look into the .vmx file and find these lines

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

I tried to replace sound.fileName = "-1" with sound.fileName = "/dev/dsp" ,but the error remains.

How can I fix this sound problem? thanks for help.
