Mic issue [Host: Win 10 <> Guest: Ubuntu 14.04]

Post by crisdeodates »

My Host Windows 10 OS always disables/mutes microphone automatically when i move to virtual box Guest OS Ubuntu 14.04.5. I tried to unmute the mic in my host OS many times. But whenever i move to VB, it automatically becomes muted/disabled.

Note: I have latest VB, latest VB_extension_pack and Guest additions installed in guest OS

Do you mean when the VM gets the focus, you lose your microphone input in the host? How are you testing this?

When you or anyone else comes back in a year from now and reads this, it will have a *completely* different meaning. Never use "latest", "current", "previous", always use the exact versions. Same for "Windows 10". It's too generic, always include the build/version.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
