I have. I installed Windows from scratch. Windows has two or three
different kernel components, and I believe that VB can only use one of
them. Have you enabled sound from 'VBoxManager modifyvm' or similar?
Get sighted assistant and look in the device manager to see if there
are device drivers, like sound, that are not installed correctly.
