RC3 r101470 - Audio Issue Linux Guests
I don't know if the AC97 codec was changed but Installed a new copy of Ubuntu 14.04.2 and the volume level is extremely low. OSX 10.11 and 10.10.4 have audio issues.
Audio also breaks up on most Linux guests.

Fedora 22 and OpenSUSE 13.2 audio seems fine.
On Lubuntu 15.04 Taylor Swift sounds like Minnie Mouse.

Fixed the Ubuntu 14.04.2 problem. Wasn't a VB issue. Still have the other audio problems.

Re: RC3 r101470 - Audio Issue Linux Guests
Not sure Perry. Could be part of the problem. Audio seems okay in some Linux guests. Wrong sample rate, either too high or too low in others. Then some now stutter. It's an adventure.

I can also reproduce the issue on VBox 5.0 final. I have a OSX 10.10 host and an Ubuntu 14.04 guest. The sound is too deep and stutters.
I upgraded to 5.0 and use my already available guests, no fresh install.

Re: RC3 r101470 - Audio Issue Linux Guests
I read somewhere here that the devs added a different AC97 codec for linux, but that it's only used for new guests (?). How can it be used on existing guests?

Does it make a difference? It should, but only wide testing can say for certain

Re: RC3 r101470 - Audio Issue Linux Guests
Yes it works. However, corrects the sampling rate but drops the volume to almost nothing. At least with Ubuntu based guests.
It seems to kill audio in Debian 8.1

Re: RC3 r101470 - Audio Issue Linux Guests
I fixed Debian 8.1 by restoring a previous version and just installing the 5.0 GAs. Didn't run the "AD1980" command.
