The sha and md5 checksum files listed on the download page still reflect 4.3.28 - not 5.0.

Audio for Linux guests is still at the wrong sample rate on OSX hosts.* Otherwise things seem to be working.
edit: only applies to guests created before the release of VB 5.0.

A lot of users don't understand what they are doing so editing the configuration file can render their guest defunct. In this case it's pretty safe.loukingjr wrote:actually I forgot they changed ac97 for new guests. I knew how to fix old guests and btw? I thought users were told NOT to edit .vbox files?

It is ironic that for some people it's less work to hand-edit a XML file than search for 'AD1980' in the manual
