I checked the VMware documentation. It said which sound card the virtual machine emulated. I forget now which one, but do remember it was a creative card. I had the right driver for it. Later I did a little more digging and found out how to tell VMware to emulate a different sound card. So I changed the virtual machine's sound card to a SB 16 then installed it in the guest OS. The results are much better, but still there's a little stuttering. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
