What I understand from VirtualBox is, it uses the host operating system to
run the guest operating system. No sound in host => no sound in guest.

For example: Internet/LAN usage in guest OS. If you see the LAN ip address
of the guest, and if you see the actual ip of the packets(genrated from your
guest OS) that are going out of your system, it contains the ip that your
host OS has obtained. There is NAT running in the background to translate
the ip addresses. I hope you understand.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
