Re: Virtualbox Windows Xp Stop 7b
Cherrie Patete
First off I'm using vmware workstation 6 the host OS is a windows 2003 server, the guest is windows xp pro. We have multiple windows xp guests and we shut them down to make sure our 2003 server maintains its resources/RAM and so the problem we've run...
3rd parties who have developed ways to make the VirtualBox interface accessible through the Web. Out of them the most successful and complete of these projects is phpVirtualBox, which you can avail at SourceForge.net
Yea, I would first get comfy with running VBoxManage to start/stop/control the VM locally on the host. Once you know that is working correctly, you can deal with getting it to run remotely. You might consider having that VM start at boot time so it will always be available.
Audio result (%TMP%/DebugAudioOut-0.wav): host's audio file is recorded until sleep, and file ends up on the moment of system suspension (sleep). After sleeping time there is a distorted sound from the guest (repeated part of song) and there is no sound in the file.
Can confirm this is still a problem. Just installed Debian 10.1.0 in a VM, setup minimally, installed chrome and found that videos would not play and audio would not work after Windows 10 resumed from sleep when VM was still open. The video not playing issues seems directly related to sound not working.
According to the settings the host system turns monitor off after 1 minute idle.The guest sound stops working after host turns on monitor again. Furthermore the video in guest system becomes slow motion. As mentioned by James Fade the last portion of sound gets looped infinitely.
Update:
It seems to me that the issue happens if Windows 10 (host) changes the active audio output device. I have a notebook with speakers, a monitor with speakers (audio over HDMI) and bluetooth headphones. If I change the output device using volume control icon in the taskbar (see image)
the guest system audio gets redirected as expected. After few switching I can hear a light distortion of the guest system sound but, in general, it works fine.But if the active audio device is switched in another way the issue occurs reproducible. I hear either a last sound portion repeatedly or no sound at all. Under "another way" I mean e.g.:
I am not quite sure when the problem started (because initially I did not realize what was happening, or what triggered it), but it certainly started before 5.2.34; I believe it might have started with either 5.2.22 or 5.2.24.
I also have this same problem with win10 host and arch linux guest. It has been going on for a while now. Losing all sounds when I lock my computer and monitor goes to sleep. Could we have some feedback on this issue?
I just want to confirm that I am also having this issue. Running Windows 10 host, Virtualbox 6.1.6 r137129. Also would like to note that I only have one audio input and output device enabled in windows, all others have been disabled. Thank You
I've disabled all of the screen savers and screen locking. I'm still not sure if this happenw when my Windows box goes to sleep, but what restores it is if (in the guest) I log out and back in. Then everything works fine.
just wanted to say that we are able to reproduce the issue and are investigating it. Seems to be indeed related to changing the default output device as mentioned already. Just suspending and resuming the host didn't show any issues.
The testbuilds page contains an updated Windows testbuild which should improve the situation. Instead of having to restart the VM, pausing and resuming the audio stream inside the guest should be enough (e.g. reload the youtube webpage). Feedback is appreciated!
Unfortunately the issue got worse with connecting/disconnecting of bluetooth headphones. The virtual machine freezes. Not the guest OS itself. If I close VM by clicking close button(x) on the toolbar the VM quietly crashes and goes from "running" to "aborted" state.
Resolution of the actual ticket here would close 19686, but this now seems to be more about restarting transient sinks and switching sinks than the original report, especially in light of #comment:22, so the opposite is no longer true.
I too am having the VM "freeze". The guest O/S is still running, but I cannot interact with it via the UI. But in my case, the freeze only occurs "sometimes" when the screen comes back online after being suspended.
I created some logs. The first and second one are the ones with the displayed slider and no sound. Third one is without a slider and forth one is with restart. I simply save the state of the guest and then start the guest again, without exiting the VBox itself.
The other bug I experience but still can't always reproduce, because it needs a random amount of time to appear: if you set a host sound level at maximum and guest one really low (3 or 5), then after something between 10 and 15 minutes the guest sound on the internet video disappears. After pausing and starting the video again the sound reappears. This never happens with the proper sound value in the guest like 20 or 50. But as I wrote this one has really random behavior, so I need more rehearsal before I have more details and logs on it.
I can't really comment on the bug that this has been hijacked into, which there's apparently been progress on, but if anything the "no sound" behavior is actually *worse* in 6.1.18 than 6.1.16 from a user perspective, as toggling the Audio Out enable state (which used to successfully restart the audio close to 100% of the time) has yet to work for me even once in .18.(COULD just be bad luck, but the chances of that are getting very thin already).
When my monitor's go to sleep mode (idle for 20 min) before the PC goes to sleep (idle for 45 min)on my Host OS (Windows 10 pro 20H2) the audio for my guest OS (Manjaro Linux-XFCE, Parrot Security, Win 7) will lose all audio output. Easy but inconvenient fix is as stated above to reboot guest OS, or disable sleep settings but that is not ideal.
Just upgraded to VBox v6.1.18 platform and Extension Pack, which has made it worse because now instead of just loosing audio it freezes up the entire guest OS having to force a full guest OS reset by closing out of the hyper visor and relaunching.
Do you have audio *input* disabled on the guest? If so, enable it. I had very similar problem and this was the workaround for me. See issue #19267. I'm currently on 6.1.18 and have had no problem so far. But too soon to consider anything fixed yet.
While the sound issue is fixed for me with 6.1.18, I am now seeing a more alarming symptom: the VM is entirely locking up. This has occurred to me several times in the past week, and happens when the screen goes to sleep. Not always, to be sure, but it does happen.
I'm wondering if this is related to problems that I'm experiencing with Windows 2000 and older. The audio doesn't always work and Windows 2000 RTM won't shut down properly. With Windows NT 4.0 there's quirkiness and audio weirdness.
I updated straight from 6.0.24 to 6.1.22 a few weeks ago and poof, no more audio lock-ups when the monitor goes to sleep (manually disabling/enabling audio devices in mmsys.cpl, which used to be the easiest way to reproduce the bug, also no longer causes any problems in the VM), no more audio hiccups or distortions observed when playing videos in the VM, and Windows no longer reports the VM as using the microphone if audio input is disabled on the VM start-up. Also thus far no lock-ups and only one crash that does not appear to be related (#20388).
If you follow this guide, you end up with an additional boot entry to select wheather you want to boot with hyperv enabled or disabled:

I have seen news of running Docker Dekstop on WSL2 on windows, where they are using a different mechanism other than Hyper-V to run docker containers on windows as they are run through the WSL 2 (ubuntu on windows
thing). I wonder whether as this develops we will be able to run Docker Desktop in parallel with Oracle VM Box without any problems.
VirtualBox is a hypervisor used to run operating systems in a special environment, called a virtual machine, on top of the existing operating system. VirtualBox is in constant development and new features are implemented continuously. It comes with a Qt GUI interface, as well as headless and SDL command-line tools for managing and running virtual machines.
In order to integrate functions of the host system to the guests, including shared folders and clipboard, video acceleration and a seamless window integration mode, guest additions are provided for some guest operating systems.
To compile the VirtualBox modules provided by virtualbox-host-dkms, it will also be necessary to install the appropriate headers package(s) for your installed kernel(s) (e.g. linux-lts-headers for linux-lts). [1] When either VirtualBox or the kernel is updated, the kernel modules will be automatically recompiled thanks to the DKMS pacman hook.
