Re: [H] Virtualbox won't let me turn off my microphone
And if I need sound from one of the VMs then I have to live with the mic being on all the time? - Brian On Wed, Feb 19, 2020 at 11:07 AM Christopher Fisk < christopher.f...@thefisks.org> wrote: > Virtualbox will enable the microphone on your machine if any of the VMs you > have created have audio enabled.

Re: [H] Virtualbox won't let me turn off my microphone
Virtualbox will enable the microphone on your machine if any of the VMs you have created have audio enabled. To prevent it from occurring you need to disable all audio on all VMs on your virtualbox setup. Just checking the boxes doesn't seem to work.

[H] Virtualbox won't let me turn off my microphone
I'm using Virtualbox to run a couple of VMs for various things and one very annoying problem is that it won't let me turn off my microphone. The minute I launch VirtualBox it forces my microphone on and I if I hit the mute button it comes right back on again. I've tried disabling the "Audio input" checkbox on the VM I'm using but when I close VirtualBox it defaults to enabled again. And even when it's disabled in the VM, simply having the VM running forces the mic to be always on, even if the VM is locked and in the background. Any ideas on how to fix this? - Brian
