kai,
When I have VBox (2.0.6 from Sun) running, I get no sound on my KDE desktop.
For example, if I'm running Vista (for work) and then launch Youtube -

- then I get no sound on YouTube or anything else in my system. Vista produces sounds just fine.
What might be going on?
I don't know if my experience tramslates directly, as i am running Windows XP under VirtualBox 2.1 from Sun. Not Vista and not Virtual Box 2.06, but I had exactly the same symptoms. Sound fine under the Windows guest but no sound in Opensuse 11.1
The fix for me was to change a setting in Virtual Box. Settings -> Audio -> Host Audi Driver I changed it from pulseaudio to ALSA. Now I have sound on both host and guest.
At random times I lose sound, but this is fixed by running
rcalsasound restart
as root.
Okay, either switching to 2.1 or changing the sound driver from nullaudio to ALSA helped. I have sound in both host and guest.
