I tried installing to Virtual PC2007.
Work sound.
And、Installed Virtual PC Additions,but OS can't boot.

I tried using virtual PC's hard disk as a Virtual Box, but the sound was not.

Sound in ArcaOS is turned down, possibly too far to be heard. Look in C:\MMOS2\MMPM2.INI, and adjust the "mastervolume=" line. It is 0 to 100 percent. There is another thing, somewhere, that was adjusted too.

Or download PMUniMix http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-search.php?button=Search&key=pmunimix&dir=%2F and play with the various controls. Here on real hardware, the front speakers need to be turned up

@Doug - that was it!  I switched the mastervolume to 100 in MMPM2.ini and I have sound with SoundBlaster16 Guest and SoundBlaster16 non-PNP.

The sound is still very quiet though. Can you recall what other setting needed tweaking?

UPDATE: it works for new installations. When I tried switching my existing installatation to use SB16 using MINSTALL it did not work.

UPDATE 2: Actually, correction, it works for a clean install using SB16 for both Guest and installer, only AFTER a) changing the MMOS2.INI mastervlume value from 50 to 100, AND AFTER re-installing the SB16 drivers from the SB16 folder on the CD using MINSTALL.  I've done this twice now to test and it worked both times. 

Thanks to everyone who helped.
