How do I fix audio delays and sound lag problems

Post by JimmyJohn »

Currently I'm try to play Sakura Wars 1 on my Windows XP virtual machine I have noticed a sound delay of 1-2 seconds which messes with the games voice acting and button prompts. Is there any way to fix this?

I am using Virtual Box Version 6.1.22 and installed Guest Additions

Please try a VirtualBox 6.1.23 test build.

VirtualBox test build(s) for audio problems

On the VirtualBox test builds page, you'll find the VirtualBox stable branch test build 6.1.23r145004 (or newer). The audio functionality underwent extensive changes, and the VirtualBox developers are interested in getting positive as well as negative feedback regarding audio playback and recording. Please mention the host OS, the guest OS, the Host Audio Driver and the Audio Controller (from the VM configuration in Settings > Audio), and describe any misbehavior as detailed as possible. Thanks in advance.

We already have audio problems being discussed in three official topics, so let's try to keep the side discussions under control.

Discuss audio problems here, after trying the test build: VirtualBox 6.1 test builds with audio changes.
