[arch-general] question from a new member

[norman]

Hello all.
The question was slightly misunderstood. I'm the friend that rosanna 
mentioned was helping her.
The actual situation is that we were trying to install talking arch and 
the installer will not talk.
I have vmware workstation player on her computer and set up a vm for it. 
However, when connecting the cd and booting the vm there is no audio.
The distro used was downloaded from here.
https://talkingarch.tk/download.php

Any thoughts?

The question I have, is how do I get talking arch to talk when I run the program? Thanks in advance.
