The VBox offers me OSS or the null driver. The Alsa and pulseaudio pages say OSS is "deprecated". Is Oracle out of the picture? I can't find the straight dope. Do I have to convince VBox to talk to a different sound card? Which vbox version and what are your use flags? FWIW, for me; app-emulation/virtualbox-6.1.2::gentoo was built with the following: USE="alsa opengl opus pam pulseaudio qt5 sdk udev -debug -doc -dtrace -headless -java -libressl -lvm -pax_kernel -python -vboxwebsrv -vnc" ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_6 -python2_7 -python3_7 -python3_8" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_6 -python3_7 -python3_8" So i can use ALSA or pulse.
Okay, that's a good tip. I'll try those use flags - I have none set. I'm at virtualbox-5.2.32, which I just emerged in the last couple of days, using this profile: [16] default/linux/amd64/17.1 (stable) *
