Ranting about Sound Support in virtual machine

I'm very pissed off with sound support with virtual machines. Virtual Server doesn't emulate sound card. Virtual PC 2007 chooses to emulate an old, no longer supported, Sound Blaster 16. Instructions to get the drivers off Windows XP cd failed miserably. I have no idea what MS is thinking!

Now with OCS 2007 out, but I can only install it on virtual machines (unless some one wants to sponsor me with hardwares), I cannot try out speech workflows with MOSS... Wanted to do IM workflows too, but documentation cannot make it and the process is really too complicated.

So for my topic in CTU2007, I have to fall back to MOSS workflow. I'm probably going to talk about the thing that you probably do not know about MOSS workflow. In fact, BPM vendors that came to talk to me, doesn't know this exist too. Let see how my research goes for the rest of this week...

Updates:

I found this page that gives you a little bit more details how to get the sound card drivers. Hopefully we can have some speech workflow demo this saturday!

Hi there. I've subscribed to your blog for a while, and it's always provided good information about Sharepoint. So, first of all, thanks for the willingness to share what you know. I really appreciate it. I've run across a problem with the new version that we had nailed down in 2003 thanks to your blog (http://community.sgdotnet.org/blogs/kitkai/archive/2005/10/11/21957.aspx). The solution doesn't seem to work in 2007 -- the AclVer.aspx file isn't around any more, and grepping through the 12 hive doesn't show where the variable (strMailSubject) is, nor any of the wording in the message. Drop me a note to (jporter) (at) (regis.edu) and let me know if you have any idea what's going on here; we're all at a loss. I tried emailing you through your form, but got a bounce message.

hi kitkai, if there is an exe in the drivers? maybe u can try running in winxp compatibility mode. Right-click the exe and click the compatibility and select winxp. I just learn this trick within this week to make an application which was not supported in win 2003 to run!
