Issue created Mar 04, 2021 by Outvi V@outloudvi

Cannot hear sounds from VirtualBox VM at most of the times

Version, Distribution, Desktop Environment:

  • 0.3.22.107.g29be7575-1 (using pipewire{,-{alsa,docs,jack,pulse,}}-git packages from AUR)
  • Arch Linux
  • KDE Plasma 5.21.2

Description of Problem: Users cannot head the sound from a VirtualBox Windows 7 VM sometimes.

How Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Start a Windows 7 (SP1, in my example) in VirtualBox (version 6.1.18-2, in my example)
  2. Try to make some sound in the VM

Actual Results: Users sometimes cannot hear the sound from VM. When asking the OS to play sounds from front left channel, it's more likely (but far less than 100%) to hear the sound. The front right channel seems to be never making a sound from VM.

Expected Results: Users can always hear the sound from VM.

Additional Info Eg. pw-dump > file (As Attachment Please): pwdump.log
