ModEdit; related ticket: #18820: No sound on 5.2.32 Linux guest on Linux host
I have had Devuan ascii and beowulf guests on a Devuan Jessie 32 bit host for many months but never used audio. Now I have a need to use it and it is completely dead - sound test, music or video file and audio in both hangouts and jitsi. USB camera and mic are working just fine. I have spent days of frustration trying to sort this.
Setting up sound on this machine was a bit of a challenge because there is a chip on the board and also on the processor. It required a .asoundrc to sort it.
I am using alsa with pulseaudio uninstalled and wonder if that is contributing. apulse is available if needed.
I searched here and found this thread - viewtopic.php?f=7&t=92711 - which was not encouraging regarding alsa. The log described below was requested. I am too tired to do that tonight but will tomorrow if it will be needed. Please advise:
We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run, where the problem occurs:
- Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe problem / 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.
TYVM,
