Hmm, I haven't seen this problem reported so far, so maybe I'm just doing something incredibly stupid...
I can't change the settings of the host system (WinXp) through VirtualBox. The "preferences" icon under the machine menu is not highlighted, so I don't have access to it.
Using the command line manager (VBoxManage modifyvm WinXP -audio oss for instance is what I want to change) returns this log :

Anyone?
Thanks

EDIT : BTW, I have no sound in the host. So it IS muted...
Can't change settings?
Hi Francis,
Once can't change settings for a VM that has a saved state.
IF one wants to make adjustments to settings (sound card, usb, etc), then either:
(1) highlight the VM in virtualbox, and press "discard", OR
(2) restart the VM, and the next time you close the VM, use the "shut down" option.
Settings will be available.
