VBHeadless suddenly requires the microphone to be active when starting Vagrant Box

After updating to VB 5.2.20 when starting Homestead/Vagrant it requires activating the microphone on my machine:

If I block the request booting fails.
I for now manually set the mic to low, but I might downgrade VB soon and see if the issue persists or not.

- Vagrant is a program that relies on VirtualBox but modifies its configuration files in unknown ways to us. It is not supported on these VirtualBox user forums, they have their own Vagrant support channels. If you are having this problem with a standalone version of VirtualBox, then we can continue this discussion.
- This icon is not a VirtualBox icon. Who/what is causing this dialog to pop up?
- I'm not sure I understand the following statement. What does "set the mic to low" mean?

Thanks for getting back to me socratis!
I now found the setting. Just had to deactivate Audio input - maybe it wasn't activated before or couldn't be used by the box for some reason!?
See screenshot
Just to quickly reply to your response:
1) fair enough

3) I changed the setting in my macOS host by kinda switching the mic off there (macOS > System Preferences > Sound > Input Volumn)

To add to this, here is the error message when I block the request to access the mic:
Code: Select all
default: Warning: Connection reset. Retrying...
There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.
Command: ["showvminfo", "32053cd8-775a-467f-abe3-323364b8a164", "--machinereadable"]

@retrovertigo
This is not a message that I'm familiar with, maybe it's Vagrant specific? I wouldn't know.
BTW, I just went to check the image from your first post, and it has expired! That's why you should attach images locally...
