Hi all,
Host - Windows 8.1
Guest - Ubuntu 14.04
I am not able to have audio sound in ubuntu 14.04. I have tried several options like ICH AC97 Audio Controller, Intel HD Audio Controller, Sound Blaster16, but none of them worked.
How to get sound back in ubuntu?

The Linux guest will only respond to the ICH AC97 controller. Set that and then troubleshoot the real cause. Host must allow it and guest must be active.

In Ubuntu, open System Settings>Sound and make sure the slider isn't all the way to the left. Also make sure Mute isn't checked.
