    DirectSound settings not available

    Hi,

    I find that some of my virtual machines do not produce any sound. For those
    that fail, I find when I click the Advance button in "Sounds and Audio
    Devices Properties", I get a pop-up windows that states "DirectSound
    settings not available". These failing guests are both Windows 2003
    Enterprise Editions running under Windows 2003 Enterprise Editions x64
    hosts. I've a working guest Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition under an XP
    host.

    The Windows 2003 Enterprise Editions x64 hosts also have Vista guests and
    they have no problem.

    Any idea how this is fixed?

    Thanks!
