Hey I cant seem to get windows 7 to output any sound whatsoever. Im using virtual pc and im not sure what my sound card is. But it might be this: Realtek ALC888/1200
Its a "High Definition" sound card, or is supposed to be, but I cant get windows 7 to detect it. Im running it from virtual pc 2007 and I read somewhere that telling virtual pc your trying to install vista will let you have sound. I uninstalled, reinstalled, and it doesnt work.
I had that same problem with Virtual Pc 2007 and the Win7 Beta. I found this comment by someone named Hermes, which fixed the problem for me:

re: Windows 7 on Virtual PC on Windows 7
I just fixed the sound problem!
I turned off, disabled the sound card and started Windows 7 again and just after it starts, I shut it down.
Enabled again the sound card on virtual pc.
Removed the Virtual PC Additions
Restarted and reinstalled VPC Additions.
Done!
I have sound on Windows 7 over VPC! =D
How do i remove the VPC additions?
EDIT: I found a file called Virtual Machine Additions
should I just delete that?
I think i have it working now, my sound icon now has several "sound waves" next to it instead of that ugly red x.
EDIT:Aww crap, once I restarted it its asking me if I want to boot into recovery mode or normal. I chose normal and now its asking me again. Ill choose recovery mode this time i guess
EDIT(again): oooo theres a green loading bar, reminding me of xp, but i think its working. Im at the startup screen
oh no theres a box asking me to do a system restore, im gonna go ahead and click yes
You remove Virtual Machine Additions by going to Programs and Features (Vista's replacement for XP's Add/Remove Programs) and uninstall it. Then you add it again by going to the Action menu of VPC and choosing Install or Update Virtual Machine Additions.
Got it all working now, thanks!
