No SOUND in Big sur guest and linux host

Post by nickoli »

Well I got Everything to work really except for the audio, so being a noob at mac i tried installing AppleALC.kext but it didn't do anything. and i'm stumped everything iv'e found online hasn't helped either. To be honest this is the only thing bad with the machine do if anyone has any information big or small i'd appreciate it.

What model Mac are you using to run Linux?

I see you have configured 6 CPUs but only have 4 physical - You should lower that to 4 virtual, or even 3 virtual.

Does audio work on your Linux installation? Some Mac hardware (e.g. iMac 18,3) it seems to be impossible to get audio working in Linux.

You should also have a read of OSX guests on non-Apple hardware

Thank's for the reply, i'm using pop os to run big sur in virtualbox, and i have 8 cpus but it does recommend going down to 4 so i did that and it still doesn't output any audio and still says it no output devices found in audio preferences. and the audio does work on the linux host.

I see you didn't answer about the model of Mac hardware you are using. Your log shows you are NOT using a Mac so a moderator will be along soon to lock this thread.

Linux is an OS family, software not hardware. The log shows that the host is a Dell G5. Topic locked.
