No sound on my guest WinXP after upgrading my host to Win10

Post by Death_Game »

Hello

I got no sound no my guest WinXP after upgrading my host from Win7 to Win10. I used 'Insert guest additions CD image' but nothing seems to be working I also tried all the settings on 'host audio' & 'audio controller' but nothing at all. This problem happened suddenly after upgrading my main system [host] from Win7 to Win10. By the way I've the audio icon at the bottom corner and I can adjust the volume however no actual sound coming

I tried the trick that was mentioned in comment 12. That fixed the problem temporarily once I close VisualBox and run my guest later i get the same problem again. But thanks anyway.

The audio from the guest should start playing as well. At this point, you can stop the audio from the host which is no longer necessary. This seems to fix the issue until VirtualBox is shut down. You can even reboot or shutdown your guests.
