All servers I've installed so far had sound after I've installed the
appropriate drivers. AFAIK, Virtual PC doesn't require to install any
hardware drivers. So I'm still convinced there's something wrong with the
W2k8/Virtual PC setup.
Maybe there's someone out there clarifying this issue?

Message:Thanks Colin,
your suggestions lead me to the right idea:
After trying both suggestions you've mentioned and fiddling around without
success I gave up. And that was in fact the solution to the problem:
When Windows Server 2008 started up and brought up the "Install Audio
driver" dialog again, I've selected "Disable driver and don't show this
dialog again." ... With the next reboot an audio card was automatically
available. After that, I enabled the "Windows Audio" service and, bang,
here's the sound!
Regards,
Axel Dahmen

Sounds like the experience I had with Vista on an HP laptop when the
WiFi card was not working out of the box (warning sign in Device
manager). Installed a new driver and at the end Vista said there was a
problem with the install and offered to reinstall with "better"
settings. Did that and no change.
So I downloaded another (later) driver and had the same result, Vista
offering to reinstall with better settings. This time I was fed up and
took the other choice "no thank you, this is good enough".
Guess what? The WiFi driver worked just fine!!!
So Vista puts up a bogus message that the install failed and led me to
install 3 times when all I had to do was tell Vista it was wrong and
the driver installed fine (how could I know that?).
Go figure.....
