Issues with installing Ubuntu 9.04 under VMWare Workstation

[Garry Turkington]

Hi,

I've had 9.04 desktop successfully installed under VMware Workstation.  2 
things of note:

1. The prior startup sound of a few drumbeats is gone.
2. On first boot and subsequent boots the system volume is set to a low 
level and also muted.

I've managed to get Orca working but no matter what I do the sound is 
always muted and reset on each boot.  I hadn't considered if maybe it was 
a peculiarity of the virtualized sound device but I guess anything is 
possible...

Garry
