After upgrading to Opensuse 12.3, I no longer had audio to VirtualBox 4.2. I upgraded to VirtualBox 4.3, but that didn’t fix the problem. The VBox configuration has the Host Driver as PulseAudio and the Controller as Intel HD Audio. When I start the VM I get a warning SUSE Paste
The VBox log shows:
00:00:00.774052 Audio: Trying driver 'pulse'.

I have audio on the host side but don’t know how to troubleshoot this problem. Any suggestions will be welcomed.
