No sound in macOS Mojave 10.14.3

Post by Madlad »

I recently installed macOS Mojave 10.14.3 on virtualbox.And it has worked successfully.I have logged into my iCloud and used apps.But when i try to go to safari and watch some videos on youtube there's no sound.I tried plugging in another speakers of mine but it still doesn't work.My mouse and keyboard work perfectly though.Do i need to install audio drivers for it?Is there even actually a way of getting sounds to work on a non-apple hardware running macOS?I would be really happy if anybody could help me with this.Thank you!

Start the guest from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the guest from within the guest OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the guest with the Power Off option set.

Right-click the guest in the main Virtualbox window's guest list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip it, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Have a read of viewtopic.php?f=22&t=92649 then think carefully about what you have asked.

Good catch, granada29! I missed that!

granada29's link is OSX guests on non-Apple hardware, which is illegal and cannot be supported.
