Audio (Sound) Problem with Mac OS Big Sur

Post by winnithedevil »

Hello,

I can't see why this topic ended!.? The problem still persists even after newer versions of the Virtual Box.

All devices are shown as operational, but there is no sound from the speakers.

In my opinion, it seems like there are some conflicts on the "audio management" between macOS and the VM application.

We closed the topic because the workaround is posted in the Discuss 6.1.22 topic. Did you read that topic? You would have found this if you had: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=102694&start=15#p500966

I can't understand the workaround and I have the same problem, I tried installing the new virtualbox and the new extension pack and also tried running intel support and driver assistant but it still doesn't work.

Can someone help me here?

I had the same issue with the host machine being a MacOS Monterey 12.5.1 and Virtual Box verion 6.1.38 r153438. When the VM was running, the sound on the host was cut off, I couldn't play any sound and restarting the sound driver didn't do anything. I also tried reinstalling everything without any success.

The solution I had was to add the below configuration in the Vagrant file of the VM and recreate it:

Code: Select all

config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
        vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--audio", "none"]
        vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, '--audioout', 'off']
        vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--audioin", "off"]
