Well, I assume that your windows makes sound. If not, fix that first.
It works, for me. I am using VBox 6.1.16, with ArcaOS 5.0.4, under win 10.
I use the SoundBlaster 16 setting (and driver, in the guest). In the VBox settings, under Audio, set output to on. If you still don't hear anything (I don't), look in (OS/2) C:\MMOS2\MMPM2.INI (it is a text file), and change the " mastervolume=50" line to " mastervolume=90" (or even 99, it is a percentage). Reboot, and see if that helps.
It tells you how to set up VBox for a ArcaOS VM. Most, if not all, applies to other versions of VBox, and OS/2 guests.
I use SoundBlaster 16, because it uses far less resources, and just plain works better than the other options. YMMV.
