Virtual Server does not provide sound support out of the box - and in the past I have commented that it is possible to get sound out of a virtual machine if you connect to it via RDP and enable sound remoting under the advanced options of the Remote Desktop client.  However - sound remoting is not enabled by default.  In order to do this you will need to go into the Windows Server 2003 virtual machine and:

  1. Go into the 'Services' section (under Admin tools, under Control Panel)
  2. Change the 'Windows Audio service' from 'Disabled' to 'Automatic' - and start it
  3. Go to the 'Terminal Services Configuration' section (under Admin tools, under Control Panel)
  4. Double click on 'RDP-TCP'
  5. Select the 'Client Settings' tab
  6. Clear the 'Audio Mapping' check box

You should now be able to RDP into the virtual machine and hear sound.
