[Solved] Windows Vista audio problems

Post by lorecast162 »

Hello, I have Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 installed on VBox 5.2.4 Windows 10 Home host.
Guest additions install fine, and Aero works too, but even though it "outputs" audio and driver is indeed installed, no sound is actually heard, and it's not a host related problem, since audio works fine on host OS, audio settings are set to HD Audio on the VM. Should I try AC97?

No, first you should try 5.2.8. It contains a lot of audio fixes.

Not quite: The input (microphone) is not working for me in 5.2.8 (Win10-64 host, WIn7064 and WIn10-64 guests).

Yes quite. You hijacked another user's solved problem and you have an opinion whether their problem was solved or not? I doubt it.

If you have a problem, open your own thread. Do not hijack other people's threads, especially when they're marked as [Solved] by to OP.
