Problems with USB Headset in Windows XP guest
Posted: 31. Dec 2009, 23:58
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 64bit, Virtualbox 3.1.2, guest is Windows XP.
Audio coming from the guest machine is fine normally, but when I try using a USB headset as a mic/headphones, I get horrible audio quality, very choppy, etc. I have tried two different headsets, and both achieve the same result. I'm primarily using my guest OS for Rosetta Stone, so this poses a significant problem for me
And it's not just a problem with Rosetta Stone, listening to ANY audio on the guest OS with the USB headset hooked up yields the same bad audio. And yes, I do have the device passed through to the guest OS. I have also tried running pavucontrol while the guest OS is open, as mentioned in a different thread, and I don't think it makes any difference. Is there something I'm missing?
