Thank you so much for this piece of info and to all of you who
have suggested fixes. Unfortunately, increasing the resources nor
chagning to the Intel audio controller has solved the problem. In
fact after doing this, I had a hilarious time trying to navigate
my way through the terminal with a double-layred Orca.
I'm guessing you're using the latest 5.2.6 release of
VirtualBox and possibly Windows 10 as your host? If so, there
are known problems with distorted audio that seemed to show up
after the Fall Creators Update. See any of the following (and
probably more) and increasing resources probably won't help:

I have had the same problem with my Fedora guest and was able
to fix it by updating to the 5.2.7 test build which you can find
here:

Hope that helps. Good luck!

Hi
James,
As others have pointed out, you may need to increase VM
resources (CPU cores or RAM).
Also, from my experience, using Intel HD Audio as your VM Audio
Controller may result in better performance.

Hi everyone
I am running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS in a VM at the moment, and am
finding that Espeak frequently becomes distorted while
speaking. A great deal of static builds up behind the voice
and then disappears again. This only happens in the VM, not
with Espeak under NVDA. I am beginning to wonder if it is
related to the third party tools the installer suggested I
install when I initially installed tthe OS?
Thank you for any advice/help. I really want to become
familiar with Linux and this list is invaluable.
My best wishes
James
