We all know about the Microsoft Plus! Series that has been apart of Windows since Windows 95 and came to it's ultimate demise after Windows XP. However, Windows Vista introduced a new way of getting Plus! based features, but it was exclusive to Windows Vista Ultimate. Appropriately, they were named ...

Does anyone know how I can get sound in Windows Longhorn (build 4093) to work in VMWare 15.5? I have installed many driverpacks and have went to device management, but Device Management doesn't even have an option for sound. I have tried all the packs I could find.
