mic not workiing other than internal in 5.2.6

Post by farkas »

Installed the current version
5.2.6 r120293 (Qt5.6.1) upon 5.1.30

Mic is not working when switching to jack or bluetooth in any guest either Windows or Linux.
Headset through jack is working, but bluetooth headset is not.
tested with 5.1.30 guest additions and 5.2.6 and 5.2.7 too.
internal speakers and internal mic is working in windows 10 guest and Linux x64 guest but not with Windows Server 2012R2 guest

Everything worked with 5.1.30 before correctly.


Thanks!

Not sure what you're doing here, but is the audio source/sink available when the VM gets launched? Can you explain step-by-step what you're doing? We're going to need to see a VM log from a complete VM run:
  • Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe error (plug/enable your audio device) / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
  • With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
  • Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response (see the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form).
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

HI socratis,

I am just updated the VBox from 5.1.30 to 5.2.6. Realized audio is not working as before in guests. Usually used my bluetooth headset but it is not working in guests. So tested headset through jack too nad mic is not working there too.

Will get back the log...

Thanks!

Did some test on sound configuration and found the playback can be changed in host:

But unfortunatelly changing the the recording device has no any effect and muted in guest - although they are working in host:

I think this is a bug, cannot change recording device - either manually or it is done automatically by system.
Thanks

Tested with latest VBOx version 5.2.8 at Manjaro host too.
The same problem switching the audio devices disables microphone in guest.

Using 5.1.32 r120294 (Qt5.5.1) is till working correctly.
Switching audio devices, working fine.

Could anybody help to identify the difference in audio handling?
Thanks!
