Anyone running Buzz under a VM?

I'm setting up Buzz on my Mac running VMWare Fusion + Windows XP.

Having trouble with lag. I've install ASIO4ALL and enabled it via Polac ASIO but I'm getting slight lag when key jazzing a VST.

What can I do to improve it? Limitation of VMWare or is it likely my ASIO setup?

Can't say...
But I run win7 under virtualbox and it works fine...

I'll try to look in to it...

I have managed to fix the problem. For anyone interested heres what I had done:

1. Right click on the .vmwarevm file and select Show Package Contents.

2. Edit the .vmx file in a text editor. Do not use TextEdit because it doesn't use the right speech marks. I used Sublime Text.

3. Add the following line:

pciSound.playBuffer = "30"

4. Save the file and start the VM.

The default value is supposedly 200 but go as low as possible before the sound gets choppy. I just went with 30 as thats what the instructions had suggested and it now works great!
