vmware sound

[Tuttle, Victoria E]

Hi,

Since installing Fedora Core 1 the sound is garbled/crackling on vmware
using guest host Windows XP Professional.  Any ideas on what might be
causing the problem?

Errors that display in /var/log/messages:
kernel: i810_audio: DMA overrun on write
kernel: i810_audio: CIV 3, LVI 2, hwptr 1b58, count -168
kernel: i810_audio: DMA overrun on write
kernel: i810_audio: CIV 2, LVI 1, hwptr 1368, count -8
kernel: i810_audio: DMA overrun on write
kernel: i810_audio: CIV 22, LVI 21, hwptr b000, count -148

When it did work, the following was installed:
RedHat 8 - kernel version 2.4.18-27.8.0
VMWareWorkstation - 4.0.0-4460

I did a new install (no upgrade) of the OS to Fedora Core 1.  I have tried
the following combinations of kernel and VMWareWorkstation but continually
get crackling sound:
Fedora with kernel version 2.4.22-1.2115.npl and
VMwareWorkstation-4.0.5-6030
Fedora with kernel verison 2.4.22-1.2174.npl and
VMwareWorkstation-4.0.5-6030
Fedora with kernel verison 2.4.22-1.2174.npl and
VMwareWorkstation-4.5.1-7568

After running vmware-config.pl, I started vmware and reinstalled VMWare
Tools.  I did not create a "New virtual machine".  I used the one that was
already created under RH8.

I searched vmware's website but unfortunately they aren't supporting Fedora.
I did find some settings for older version of RedHat that I tried in
winXPPro.vmx:
sound.maxLength = "256"
sound.smallBlockSize = "128"
sound.highPriority = TRUE
