    I created a virtualbox vm for macOS High Sierra on two host OSs, macOS Catalina and Windows 10. In both cases the audio doesn’t work. Audio is enabled in the VM settings but I can’t hear any sound in the High Sierra guest. In the sound preferences in MacOS the “muted” checkbox -in the “audio output volume” section- is checked, and grayed out.
    Is audio expected to work at all in virtualbox when macOS is the guest OS?

    1. Admin says

      You might not set the audio driver, in case, you did then check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoPYeCZBvBE
