I have a problem with audio in my Guest Windows XP: It doesn't sound
My host OS is Debian GNU/Linux Wheezy (Testing right now)
When I tried to install AC97 driver from Realtek's webpage, Windows didn't complete the instalation.
When I turned off Windows, and rebooted it to start again in Safe Mode, I could complete the instalation of AC97 Driver from Realtek.
But I got a problem after that.
Windows shows me the blue progress bar who indicates it's loading its archives....
And then, it shows me a nice BLUE SCREEN with white little letters and numbers! (BSOD)
Nice screen... The only problem is that Windows doesn't work anymore
I want to know how can I get the audio drivers working on Windows.
Is that possible (make Windows make sounds under VBox)?
Thanks.
Info: I have A97 Realtek Audio Device configured and working with ALSA.
My motherboard is an MSI K9.... with GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 and Athlon XP 4800+ Dual Core Processor.
I'm running Windows with Virtualbox 8.0.4 under AMD64 Linux Kernel.
I've installed Windows XP SP3 x86.

If you chhose ac97, you dont need a driver for XP. Do you have a nlited version or something else?

I have official version of Virtualbox, but my version of XP is an unofficial (unattended) version...
I downloaded it from Internet fully upgraded with SP3 :S
Maybe that's the problem. VBox doesn't support unofficial versions :S

You just answer your own question. I guess you could install the correct driver but good luck with that.
The same will probably apply to the network drivers.
Best to purchase a legit copy of XP

Sorry, but Pirated Software is not supported.

VB does support customized Windows versions, it's you who wasn't smart enough to make one yourself and rely on others. This is what you get from pirating software.
