Hi everyone!

I recently tried to install a guest Windows XP and no matter what I do, no matter what version I use, I always get the same sound distortion problem. The sound driver is installed by VMTools. The sound is distorted, even the logon sound.

I tried every solution I found in other discussions and none of them worked. I tried to install another driver "EnsoniqAutioPCIES1371XPDriver.exe" from  Ensoniq Corporation Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1371 Free Driver Download for Windows XP - EnsoniqAudioPCIES1..., I tried to install "vmaudiofixtray", I tried to the timer period to a lower value (GitHub - temerkhanov/SetTimerService: SetTimerService is a tiny Windows NT4/2000/XP compatible servi...), and lastly but not least, I changed the HDD configuration from IDE to SCSI. NONE OF THOSE WORKED.

Could you please help me with some ideas?

Thanks
