Running VMware Fusion Pro 8.5.3 with a DOS VM. We all know Fusion does not support SB16 emulation, however I have somewhat got es1371 (aka SB128) emulation working.
Here's the problem: it gets detected, but running SBTEST.EXE returns all errors.

SBTEST.EXE output:

Detecting SB ...
error: could not reset SB16
SBTEST reports that error whether or not SBINIT is loaded, and unsurprisingly SBLEGACY will only run when SBINIT is not loaded.
Relevant part of VMX file:
sound.present = "TRUE"
sound.virtualDev = "es1371"
sound.autodetect = "TRUE"
sound.fileName = "-1"
sound.pciSlotNumber = "33"
sound.startConnected = "TRUE"
Any help?
The same thing happens with the last revision of the Ensoniq drivers released right before Creative bought them.
The only difference is the Ensoniq branded drivers emulate an SBPro, while the Creative branded drivers emulate an SB16.
Any help?
