Good to know! It is possible to convert the non-working VM to Intel HD Audio, if for some reason you don't want to abandon the original VM. If it's important to you, I can walk you through the steps to switch it. That's basically the disruptive change I was considering having you try.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] HTML5 playback
Success at last! Based on a hint on a VirtualBox forum, I installed a new machine with the Audio Controller on the machine - Settings - Audio page to 'Intel HD Audio' (was ICH AC97). On the Live DVD running the pactl and audiotest er, tests, produced sensible results. Installing OI then, and increasing the swap size as recommended on here in another thread, enabled Firefox to open and run html5 videos with sound! This was a basic install with no extra codecs etc. Thanks Tim, for your support, without which I would have abandoned this project days ago.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Any OpenIndiana Developers for Hire?
Hi Lonnie I think only Tribblix has thus far achieved such a small footprint. Most of it comes from the fact that Illumos itself is about 1,2 GB of uncompressed files and about 300MB compressed (gzip). With all the dependencies MATE on Openindiana is simply too big for the desired Footprint. XFCE could work but i doubt you get below 300MB without recompiling from Sources and Removing Features. But the task is certainly possible Jimklimov had some installscripts around but I can't Remember his repository now.

OK latest test results but no breakthrough!

If you open a terminal window on your OI guest and execute pactl list short sinks Does it generate output immediately, or does it hang for a while? It generates this output (without delay): Connection failure: Connection refused pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused OK, so we need to get pulseaudio into a good state first, then we can backtrack to the steps I provided previously, with audiotest. I've seen the exact same message from pulseaudio in a VM, and I've also seen the message you mentioned related to pulse when shutting down the VM. The fact that 'audiotest' also hangs completely likely means that there's also a problem there, so what I'm going to suggest will hopefully fix one or both of them. If I had a deep understanding of pulse, it would likely be possible to recommend steps using 'pacmd' (which is apparently(?) preferred over 'pactl') to fix its issue, but what I recommend you try first is 1) open a terminal window in your VM 2) run rm -rf ~/.config/pulse rm -rf ~/.audioctl 3) reboot your VM and log in again. Both the pulse config in ~/.config/pulse and the audioctl config in ~/.audioctl should be recreated with default settings. 4) repeat the vlc, pactl, and audiotest steps from my previous email. We want to get to the point where all 3 of them run, without hangs and without errors, even if you get no audio. Once you can get to the point where pulse isn't complaining, we can proceed with the other audioctl config. No change except the 'pactl list short sinks' command now reports 'Connection failure: timeout'. Otherwise responses are as before. If steps 1-3 still leave you with a pulse that doesn't want to run or with 'audiotest' that completely hangs, then we'll try a different approach. I'm hoping that regenerating the config from scratch will do the trick. Yes, there seems to be some missing item somewhere.
