I'm not sure this is a valid duplicate. I just posted to 228487 as
requested but I think we may have something specific going on with
VirtualBox here. 228487 is more about PulseAudio troubleshooting in
general.
I am on 2.1.4 and I have it set to use PulseAudio. When I boot the VM
the application appears in pavucontrol as you would expect, so it's
clearly using Pulse, and I do get audio.
And yet when I boot the VM, Amarok -> xine -> PulseAudio stops working.
Yes, I am sure Amarok is using PulseAudio and not ALSA. So I think
VirtualBox is trying to do something that PulseAudio does not like; now
we just have to work out whether VirtualBox or PulseAudio is the
problem.
Worth noting that when I shutdown the virtual box I SOMETIMES get sound
back; sometimes I have to force-reload ALSA to get sound back, even for
other PulseAudio apps.
@shooi: We'd need to know which version of skype you're using, exact
package, since there are several variants and they all do audio
differently.
@Matthew Nuzum: You might not need to reboot, try "alsa force-reload" at
the prompt, and then you'll probably also need to kill and restart the
pulseaudio daemon.
