I don't understand this response.
I am not an experienced programmer with respect to these platforms and have
no control what Virtual Box presents back to the OS.
I will say that this problem effects multiple distributions.
Particularly Kubuntu-KDE, Edubuntu, Lubuntu, & Xubuntu.
Luckily, the following distributions are not impacted, Ubuntu Gnome,
Ubuntu-Unity. Ubuntu-Studio.
If there is a interface problem between the Audio support software and
hardware/visualization, those issues need to be resolved between those two
owning groups.
I would recommend the development team research the differences of how
Audio is treated across the platforms that fail vs the ones that work.
I am sure there is differences and there is something going wrong in the
ones that are failing.
I would also guess that it is not likely that Virtual Box is the direct
cause because the list of work distros runs on the same Virtualbox platform
that serves the failing distros.

Title:
  [Emulated AD1980 AC97 inside Virualbox 5.0, playback] volume slider
  problem

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Volume Slider is only controlling PCM channel and is not controlling
  Master. In effect, Master is restricting the audio level to the
  default of approximately 45 Percent. In order to raise the Master
  Volume Level, alsamixer is capable of changing Master. Without
  manually raising Master to Max Volume, Volume Slider can only control
  volume from 0-45% which is the default level of Master.
