    Does Parallels 6 support sound when running a vm with Snow Leopard Server as the guest OS?

    I know that Parallels Desktop 7 supports sound on Lion guests. And on Snow Leopard hackintosh guests.

    Parallels Tools for Mac installs two drivers to support audio for at least Parallels Desktop 6 or 7 virtual machines (I didn't check older versions):

    AppleIntelAC97Audio.kext
    AppleIntelAC97Controller.kext

    You can see what Parallels Tools installs by mounting the prl-tools-mac.iso disk image, and opening Install.mpkg with a utility like Pacifist.

    NO. At least I can't get it to work using Parallels 8 and SL Server. A BIG pita. What about old versions of Cubase? Rosetta games?

    Hi,
    I had the problem of no sound when I first installed SL Server. Once I figured out to install the tools, the sound worked.
