No audio in HiddenVM>Whonix workstation #9

Closed notafanof2020 closed 3 years ago

Hi,

I currently have an issue with audio playing inside my Whonix workstation. To test that this was not a Whonix only issue, I tried several other Linux distros and was unable to get sound working on any. It seems to me that the problem isn't in the virtual machine itself but

All Host Audio Driver/Audio Controller combinations in Virtual Box have been tested and unfortunately none were able to get sound working. I'm unsure how else I can troubleshoot this and a couple of friends reported the same issue. Is someone able to please help?

Thanks for all the great work on HiddenVM!!! :)

At first this didn't look like a hiddenvm issue, but in fact it is. Thank you for reporting.

This seems related to permission and configuration. I've confirmed that audio currently cannot work. This is definitely something that should be investigated and hopefully solved one day.

I think I have a solution. Turns out we need to run a pulseaudio daemon and set some additional config. I will push a change and release a build in the next day or 2. Stay tuned.

Thanks for the quick investigation! Your fix makes perfect sense.

Happy to help with any testing now or in future!
