For the archives: VMWare Server does not automatically add an audio device. With the VM shutdown, go here: VM -> Settings -> Hardware -> Add -> Audio Device Choose the default options, then in the Windows XP VM, right click on My Computer: Control Panel -> Add Hardware -> "Yes, I have already connected the hardware" -> "SoundBlaster 16 or AWE 32 or compatible (WDM)" -> OK, OK, OK Done!
