I’ve been using Virtual PC 2004 with Windows Server 2003 running in it for my development environment for a while now and overall its been a great experience.� However, the Virtual PC sound emulation is a dodgy SoundBlaster 16 device which Windows Server 2003 doesn’t support out of the box.� I finally got annoyed enough to fix this and found the following link which gave the information needed: http://www.agileprogrammer.com/dotnetguy/archive/2003/12/13/4633.aspx.

Basically, you need to grab a Windows XP installation CD and use some of the files from it.� Note that the ctlsb16.sys file is in the DRIVER.CAB.
