Workstation16pro Creative128 MSDOS functionality

Hi,

Running WindowsXP but this issue occurs for any MSDOS configuration. I have tried many VMX settings, here are my latest:

sound.present = "TRUE"
sound.virtualDev = "es1371"
sound.autodetect = "TRUE"
sound.fileName = "-1"
sound.pciSlotNumber = "34"
sound.startConnected = "TRUE"

I also have the MSDOS Creative128 MSDOS drivers, and when I try the following:

SET SBPCI=C:\DOSDRV
C:\DOSDRV\SBLOAD
C:\DOSDRV\SBINIT.COM

I get an error: UCPI services were not detected, PCI audio driver NOT loading.

From the device manager(view resources by type) in windows,  I see "(PCI) 16 Creative AudioPCI (ES1371,ES1373) (WDM)" listed as a device in the interrupt list, so the vmware program is modeling the hardware on the PCI properly.

Does anyone have a clue on how to properly configure sound for MSDOS in vmware? Any help is appreciated.

Long Live the Empire,
Sid
