Microphone doesn't work :(

Post by Scandale »

Hi,
I'm using Windows XP Pro SP3 through VirtualBox 1.3.4 on an OS X 10.6.2 host, and my microphone doesn't work.
Recording doesn't start on the "Sound Recorder" application (still 00:00:00) and others softwares freeze.
Someone have an idea ?
Thank you for your help.

From the manual
Mac OS X host. The following restrictions apply (all of which will be resolved
in future versions):
– No support for audio input.
Some say: "You learn as long as you live".
My way: "You live as long as you learn".

I think it should be general to the virtualbox (osx) because it don't care about the hardware, no one works.
vmware fusion is ok. problem temporarily fixed awaiting a patched osx version of virtualbox.
