Sound card for Windows NT 4.0 on VMware Workstation

When you install Windows NT 4.0 on virtual machine using VMware Workstation, you may notice that there is no sound. This is because the audio driver is not automatically installed on NT.

To install sound card, visit the FileWatcher website at http://www.filewatcher.com/b/ftp/www.computerdirect.co.nz/Hardware/Sound/Creative/Vibra128-0.html.

You can see list of files that are published on this site. Download the "SBAUDIOSetupus.exe" and "sbapwnt.lib". When the download is finished, copy the files into virtual machine.

Install the sound card on NT. When the installation has finished, reboot the virtual machine. Now you can hear the sound on NT.

Thank you for reading.
