This post is intended to let users (please, NOT developers) know settings that will get the card to work on both host and VMs. When I bought the SB Audigy FX, I did so only after considerable online searches that provided no clear assurances that I could get it working either on my Linux host or VMs via VB. When I note that the SB16 setting is incorrect as Audio Controller, I am saying to the user, "Don't make that selection" I am NOT saying to the developer, "You programmed your selections incorrectly." Please try to understand my note here as an attempt to enlighten users, not to chastise developers in any way! That is, it definitely contributes important information to this I am not sure what I said to suggest that I "think that the choice (of SB16) was mandated by VirtualBox." It was definitely me, who was choosing from among VB's available options. That "SB16 is for older OS's like DOS, 95 & 98" is quite informative in this context. When the user wishes to use a new sound card on an old VM (for which the old defaults no longer work), the SB16 setting for Audio Controller seemed intuitive (to me at least). However, the New button only chooses defaults when one sets up a new VM. Please accept my I enthusiastically agree with the adage, "It's best to stay with the chosen defaults". My use of the term, "unintuitive" was obviously misplaced and seems to have put you both on the defensive. Feb 2019, 17:32 Primary OS: Ubuntu other VBox Version: OSE Debian Guest OSses: Windows 10, Mint 18.3 (Also remember to check “Enable Audio Output” in both cases.) On a Windows 10 guest, use “Intel HD Audio” as the “Audio Controller” and “PulseAudio” as the “Host Audio Driver”. Instead, on a Linux (Tina) guest select “ICH AC97” as the “Audio Controller” and “ALSA Audio Driver” as the “Host Audio Driver”. Getting sound on VirtualBox guests is not intuitive, since VB’s Audio setting lists “SoundBlaster 16” as an option for “Audio Controller”. This should get you sound on the host’s apps.Ģ. If you want a configuration other than “Analog Stereo”, you can change this in the Configuration tab via a drop-down menu to the right of the Sound Blaster’s “Profile:”. Select “Sound Core3D (SB1570 SB Audigy Fx) Analog Stereo”. Pressing on that button lists all available sound cards. In the Playback tab, you can see a button to the right of “ALSA plug-in : ALSA Playback on”. I ran pavucontrol in my Mint 19.1 host’s terminal. Here is how I got it working after installing it in one of the motherboard’s PCIe 2.0 x1 slots:ġ. I needed a sound board, and decided to take a chance on the well-reviewed SoundBlaster Audigy FX PCIe 5.1 despite mixed success reported in the forums. After only 2 years of service, my ASRock Taichi X370 motherboard’s sound capability died.
