no, vmware tools has been installed. But the message when it asked me to install said that only video and mouse would improve if i installed. Anyway vmware tools is installed and media player says no sound card in installed. There is not settings vmware also to allow access to the sound card.

thanks, figured it out. Needed to stop xp guest machine, then goto guest os summary page in vmware and there add the physical sound card. Works now
