The sound is OK in host with Pulseaudio server but not in VM.
Is this due to the connection refused to pulseaudio ? How to solve this problem ?

In log file :

A zipped log will attract more attention than "up".

Here the zipped log file.

387 bytes? I don't know what you posted, but no way that's a zipped log. Which is strange given that you were able to excerpt from the log above.

With the VM fully shut down, right click it in the GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

Here the zip file.

I'm amazed this VM runs at all, with both RAM and CPU being heavily overcommited.

As to the audio problem, the only indication I see is the same thing you saw:

00:01:30.572843 PulseAudio: Retrieving server information ...
00:01:30.572893 PulseAudio: Server information not available, skipping enumeration

Which I'm going to guess means some kind of audio config problem on the host, like the service is not installed at all. However a Linux person should really comment on that.

You don't help me much. The pulseaudio server works well though.
