Fusion 8.1.1 - Sound Card not working in MS-DOS

[Truckweb]

Trying to install the SB16 drivers in MS-DOS 6.22 but the sound card keep disconnecting and the drivers can't find the card.  Can't install drivers in Windows 3.1 (card disconnected...).

Trying to "reconnect" the sound card does not work.  I've removed and added the sound card and it does the same thing.

SB16 support for DOS in Fusion 8 seems to be broken.

Hi Truckweb,

VMware Fusion does not support SB16 sound at this time.  The SB16 emulation was only ever implemented for VMware Workstation (Player and Pro, on Linux and Windows hosts).  I think Fusion will allow a sound card to be added to the VM in case the VM is subsequently going to be migrated to Workstation, but it won't be able to make any sound while it is running on Fusion.

For what it's worth, I'm a fan of old-school sound hardware and Adlib music in particular, so I'm using some of my "spare time" at VMware to get SB16 working on Fusion... but we're not there yet.

Cheers,

Thanks very much.

Is there any other virtual machine software can simulate SB16 or other workable sound card for DOS?

I DO NOT want to run DOSBox, because I have to run a DR-DOS for special reason.

VirtualBox appears to include Sound Blaster 16 emulation, and it probably will run DR-DOS just fine.

Cheers,
