How To: Get Sound Working in Windows 7 64-Bit running in VirtualBox

r3dux | May 28, 2009

I’m running Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit, and messing around with Windows 7 RC 64-bit as a guest OS in virtual box – but, alas, no sound in Windows…

The fix? Set the virtual machine to use the ICH AC97 virtual soundcard then google for 6285_Vista_APO_PG536.zip and install it inside the virtual box running Windows 7. Annoying start-up sounds are now yours to disable treasure.

Next up will be hardware accelerated graphics – works fine in a 32-bit XP guest OS, no joy in 64-bit Win7 so far…
