Very possibly-
Not sure just how it looks on a Mac, but the main VBox Manager (where the different VMs are listed and so on) should let you select the VM you want to adjust, and then click on "Settings".
That should open up on the "General" settings, and have a list of others; one of them should be "Audio", which by default is turned OFF, at least in linux.
Note that the VM should be OFF when you adjust settings here.
When you start the VM, sound should work.

You're welcome.
Just as a note- the user manual pdf is long, but it has LOTS of good info in it, and would likely solve about half the threads I have seen in this forum.
I spent two days screwing around myself before resorting to it for USB stuff.
Now I seem to be Poster Boy for RTFM.

Set the host audio driver
Hey, after finding this thread, I end up figuring the issue out on my own so I figured I'd post.
In VirtualBox (make sure the guest OS is powered off), right-click on the guest and select Settings. Then in the Settings select Audio from the menu on the left. Make sure audio is enabled. You must select the host audio driver. In my case (my host OS is Ubuntu Linux), I selected ALSA Audio Driver and everything worked fine (I was actually setting up a backed up virtual machine... well using an existing VDI file and I was disappointed that my previous VirtualBox Settings were not included by default).
I've managed to get the microphone to work before, but I didn't seem to figure it out this time around. I've unmuted it everywhere in the guest and host, and still couldn't pin-point it... Shucks!

How to use microphone
I have a Vista 32bit host with a Mint 5 guest (mint 5 is based on ubuntu hardy). I want to be able to use my microphone in the guest. I have VBox 1.6.2. Is this possible?

Audio problem solved
Hi,
I just spent one hour to figure out how to get some sound.
I am running Windows 2000 SP4 on a new Intel Macbook 2Ghz.
SB 16 didn't work, so you have to select:
settings-> audio -> host driver: core audio, controller: ICH AC97.
Make sure the volume is up, and everything works fine.

not working
Hey phunkydrummer, I'm running vista ultimate 64 and it doesn't seem to work. I tried IHC AC97 and Soundblaster 16.
Could it be that vista 64? I'm about to delete that VM and try vista 32.
Any thoughts?
