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.
