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. > > You should review the information at: > > https://www.arcanoae.com/wiki/arcaos/installation-planning/virtual-machine-configuration/oracle-vm-virtualbox/ > > It tells you how to set up VBox for a ArcaOS VM.
