I recently put Windows 98 on VMWare and noticed I have no sound. I also have Windows XP on VMWare, sound works fine.
I'm not sure how I would go about getting sound. One game I play says it can't find the drivers, but I also do not know how to find drivers for Win98 running on a VM.

Thanks for any help! :D

I used a different website, and had the sound working for a while. Once I closed out of VMWare and reopened it, it no longer worked. It shows all the same settings, but no sound comes out.

I would try again with the official VMWare instructions above.

This reminds me, I have been meaning to install a copy of Win98 into VirtualBox. . .

Unsure of what driver I would need from the creative website. The VMWare website only gave me a link to their homepage.

Hmm, that VMWare page said to use a driver for the Ensoniq AudioPCI, and when I went to the Creative Labs website it took one minute to find the driver.

OK, so Creative has a stupid website! ;)  Download on another PC and then copy it to the Windows 98 VM.

That is what I did.

I have the installer on my desktop but when I install it, it gives that message.
