Choppy/Jittery Sound in XP Guest in Player 5 with Windows 8 Host

The sound quality is terrible from within an XP guest running under Player 5 on Windows 8 host.  The guest XP system has all updates installed available via Microsoft Update.  I deleted VM Tools and re-installed with no improvement.  Any ideas on how to fix this?  The VM was copied from another system running Workstation 8.

Thanks,

Mike.

Additional Info: The version of VMware Tools is "VMware Tools for Windows 2000 and later - version 9.2.2"

In case you were curious and seeking closure :), this seems to be a bug when running Windows 8 as a host.  I filed a bug report:
