    Did somebody know if firewire, HDMI and S/PDIF ports are going to be available in XPM soon or if there will be a patch or an updated file to download for windows XPM on microsoft support page?

    Is HDMI sound available in XPM?

    None of them are available, it's unlikely they will either. 
    VPC emulates a very basic sound card, like all the other VM apps, it's not going to give you a rich multimedia experience.

    XPMode is just an virtual machine, on it's own it has no capabilities.  Windows VPC is what runs XP Mode, Windows VPC + XP Mode is targeted at legacy application compatibility, nothing more.

    What is it you really want to do and why? As Steve pointed out, what you're asking for isn't what the product is intended to do. Maybe we can provide some alternatives after gaining an understanding of your objectives.
