AV Linux as guest

[rva1945]

Hi:

I want to use AV Linux for playing the electric guitar using Guitarix virtual amplifier and effects. So far I tried the live CD (not in a VBox) and worked ok.

1st: do I have to create the partitions prior to installing a Linux guest inside a VB?

2nd: will AVL detect the audio inputs (line in) and outputs? Or do I have to properly do the connections in Jack outside the VB?

Thanks

What partitions are you referring to, the ones in the VM? Those are "virtual" partitions, not real ones on your host, and are all contained within the "virtual" hard drive, or VDI by default that you create when you setup a new VM.

You sound like a fairly new user to VirtualBox. Since you are expected to know some basic terms before we engage in a meaningful discussion, I would suggest to start by reading three small chapters from the User Manual:

• 1.2. Some terminology,
• 1.8. Creating your first virtual machine and
• 1.9. Running your virtual machine.

Or even better, read the whole chapter 1. First steps.

2nd: will AVL detect the audio inputs (line in) and outputs? Or do I have to properly do the connections in Jack outside the VB?

It's easy enough for you to try it out.
It's rather impossible for everyone else that doesn't have your setup...
