VMX Tweaks

Purpose

As we play with VMware Workstation, we should document a few things that might make the whole process more enjoyable.

Sound Settings

These might help us get the most out of our amaroK experience. (Command-line playback seems okay, though. Hmm.)

sound.highPriority = "TRUE"
pciSound.priorityBoost = "TRUE"

The full list of possibilities looks a bit like this dump found on a VMware forum:

# Sound settings
sound.autodetect = "TRUE"
sound.highPriority = "TRUE"
sound.present = "TRUE"
sound.virtualdev = "sb16"
# AFM 10jun2006 maxlenght >= smallblocksize powers of 2
sound.maxLength = "2048"
sound.smallBlockSize = "1024"
#sound.buffering = "48000.0"
sound.buffering = "10000000000.0"
#sound.buffering = "1E30"
sound.ignoreOverflows = "TRUE"
sound.copyDelayFactor = "1000000.0"
#sound.virtualrealcorrection= "1000000.0"
sound.virtualrealcorrection= "10000000000.0"
sound.directSound = "FALSE"
pciSound.priorityBoost = "TRUE"
