VDMSound allows the usage of sound cards for Dos games running under
Windows NT, 2000, or XP.  It can be downloaded at:

The older C&C games can be installed by following the procedures listed
under this page:

The DOS version of C&C does not work under WindowsXP.

You need to make sure that Windows installation under VMWare has a sound
card, and that it is functional (i.e. it works.)  Next, you need to make
sure that this sound card contains Dos support by checking that the Blaster
variable is set properly.  

Anything under VMWare is emulated - your real hardware configuration
doesn't matter as much as it could.
