Cannot Play Sound in Some Applications
Details
I have problems playing sound in some applications in the guest
operating system. What can be done?
Solution
First, make sure that sound works properly on the host. Then
check the volume setting in the guest. Also use the
Devices menu to make sure the virtual sound device is
connected.
Sound is sensitive to system load. Shutting down or pausing
other applications may help.
As a last resort, try using the application with sound turned
off, if possible.
