Re: [orca-list] Virtualisation software that works well with Orca

[John G Heim <jheim math wisc edu>]

Sorry for the late reply but I was out of town last week. I use 
virtualbox all the time. But I do almost everything via the command 
line. The GUI for virtualbox has some problems but it's not totally 
unusable. I think you can do everything via the command line though. I'm 
not sure how virtualbox's support for sound compares to other 
hypervisors. Sound can be tricky in virtualbox virtual machines. I have 
never been able to finx an incantation that works every time. It always 
seems to me that one configuration works on one virtual machine and does 
not work the next time I try it. There are a lot of different 
combinations of parameters to set so it can be a difficult process to 
find the right one depending on the host and guest operating system. I 
suspect that is something you just have to live with on virtual machines 
in general. I haven't used vmware in a long time but it was the same 
thing then. I used to have a heck of a time getting sound working in a 
vmware virtual machine.	

done.
