Re: [orca-list] VirtualBox

["Christian" <christian08 runbox com>]

Hi,
There is no sound in the virtual machine. I have specified pulse as the audio output and sb16 as the audiocontroller.
I have also reinstalled VirtualBox but with the same result.
Windows is installed proprely. I even tried inserting the Ubuntu Live CD but there is no sound with that as well.
I get no error message when I start the vm from gnome-terminal.
If I change audiooutput to alsa i get an error mesasge. But not wiht pulseaudio.
But my system has no problem with audio.
Best regards,
Christian
