Hi Philipp,
what about quality of sound (audio support) under VirtualBox? I have
serious troubles with this part of system setup. I found some reports of
the same problem on VirtualBox.org forum, but without any relevant
solution.
So far, the combination Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 x86-64 (host) + Windows 7
Ultimate x86 (guest) has terrible problems with audio setup.
Any experience from your site?
Thanks in advance, Michal
