Apologies I should have provided that information right upfront. I am
running Windows 8.1 64 bits as host (Intel i7 4 cores CPU, 16 GB RAM)
and VirtualBox 5.0.10. I run on it a bunch of Linux guests. Microsoft
USB headset.

Title:
  Xubuntu 15.10 low and poor sound on USB headset

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Running Xubuntu 15.10 64 bits kernel 4.2.0-18 in Oracle Virtualbox
  5.0.8. Using a Microsoft USB headset. Sound is very low and if I crank
  up the volume to the max is sort of audible but distorted and noisy. I
  have a 14.04 Xubuntu and a 15.04 Xubuntu instance on the same
  Virtualbox, using the same headset, and the sound is perfect. I also
  have an Arch instance with kernel 4.2.5-1 on the same Virtualbox and
  the sonud on that one is also good. This issue seems particular to
  Xubuntu 15.10.

  I posted this on the forums about 3-4 weeks ago in the hope that
  someone may have figured a way to fix this. No answer yet.
