I am using XenServer 6.2 using the prebuilt ISO's from citrix. I need to have a sound device installed in windows in order to get audio applications to work. How do I add a fake software only sound card in XenServer? On VMWare this is fairly trivial to do so I assume this is doable in Xen.<br />
<br />
Looking for a configuration for Xen or other software I can install via yum to solve the problem.<br />
<br />
Solutions I would like to avoid:<br />
Adding physical hardware to the physical machine, doesn't scale.<br />
Relying exclusively on Remote Desktop for sound.

How do I add sound support to Windows 7+ VMs on Xen?

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
