[WorksForMe] No sound on any guests

Post by AJGringo619 »

(VB 5.2.26, then VB 6.0.4; host is Mint 19.1)

I no longer have sound on any of my VMs (Windows 10, LMDE3, OpenSUSE LEAP). I've tried changing settings in the Audio of each VM, but nothing I do makes any difference. The sound device shows up as working on all systems.

The only thing I can think of is that I changed my GPU, from Nvidia GTX 960 to AMD R9 290. If this is the problem, is there a fix?

UPDATE: OK, this makes no sense. I installed LMDE3 (after upgrading to VB 6.0.4) and sound works, setup the exact same way as my other 2 VMs (both created with VB 5.2.26).

UPDATE #2: now all of my VMs have sound. I've done no updates on the host or the VMs...I give up. :?

Glad you got it... going? :?
Thanks for trying to mark this as [Solved], but since we don't usually believe that magic is an acceptable solution, I'll remark this as [WorksForMe]. It actually is more... appropriate. ;)
