Technical details:

Virtual Box version 3.0.12 with guestOS WinXP Sp2
Sound is provided by ALSA

The problem appears when starting the guest os :

Error ID: HostAudioNotResponding
Severity: Warning
… meaning that the guest OS has no sound.

I know that Virtual Box make logs but i don`t know what to search in it. So i ask for your help i finding a solution.
Installing Virtual Box from source may solve my problem? If so what are the steps for this type of install ?

My sound host audio driver options are:
–>Windows DirectSound*
–>Null Audio Driver

My Audio controller options are:
–>ICH AC97*
–>SoundBlaster 16

  • = defaults

When OpenSUSE 11.2 boots I hear the login chime - same with shutdown. However, when I run amarok I get no sound. I’ll keep trying…
