    I know that Parallels uses the AC'97 sound drivers in Windows but some custom installs don't have the AC'97 drivers. Parallels 4 Tools still doesn't include sound drivers for Windows.
    I tried the VIA Vinyl and Realtek AC'97 drivers. Vinyl restarts the VM and Realtek plays garbled sound.
    Can someone post the Windows sound drivers for Parallels 4?
    Thanks.

    Edit: Finally found one that works.
