Mac OS X guests sound input problems

Post by IOOI »

I tested 5.1.4 on 10.10.5 host with 10.11 / 10.12beta (host is a Mid 2014 retina MacBookPro 15'') and on a 10.10.5 host (early 2011 MBP 15'') with 10.6.8, all on ICH9 chipset emulation, all have sound input problems. So I filed https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/15678

In that ticket I got the advice to try testing Version 5.1.5 r110346 (Qt5.5.1) and the sound input works somewhat now. But after a while the sound input stops working / starts to act strange, then it helps to freeze and unfreeze the machine (save the machine state). Then it starts working again. I can provide the log again if that is needed.

Anybody here experiencing the same behavior?

best regards!

There is a newer build, 5.1.5 r110354 (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds). See if that changes the situation. They're actively working on the audio front, so keep your eyes open.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

This still happens with VirtualBox 5.1.8 r111374 (Qt5.5.1)
