Most may be aware of this already, but anyway, :

You can enable OPL3 in VMWare by adding

1sound.opl3.enabled = "TRUE"

in the vmx file.

FM sounds play, but then the digital sound effects are gone.

Tried with DOOM under MS-DOS 6.22 VM.

Ah yes, this was in their VMware Workstation update preview. I haven't updated VMWare player yet, so gonna check this out now. Thanks.

EDIT: Doesn't seem to work for me under Win98SE. 🙁((

Is the setting for Win98SE using the sb16?

1sound.virtualDev = "sb16"

I think for Win9x systems, the FM is emulated with the sb16 virtual device only.

Also, try adding :

1sound.synth.operational = "true"

into the win98se's vmx file.

Adding the virtualDev line disables audio completely. What version of VMWare Workstation/Player are you using?
