Do not run any applications that are using sounds (mp3/video players, sites with flash etc) 2. Be sure you are using alsa or other relevantly new architecture. 3. Check your sound settings and reduce the time for unlocking the sound device generally my suggestion is to boot, not starting any application wait for couple of minutes (if you have startup sounds) and then run vmware workstation @Jacob - Your problem is probably due to your sound system.

I use VMWare Workstation v6.0.4 build-93057 The install from vmware-install.pl went fine. Even the configure script. All modules were built and Virtual Machines run perfect. One problem though: I get an error when starting a virtual machine because it cannot load the sound driver. Error accessing /dev/dsp ??? Does this guide fix this issue???
