I appreciate the recommendations regarding using KVM/qemu, and one day I'll give it a try. However, I remember I went through a lot of effort getting Windows 7 working with my USB footpedal. So, to avoid having to go through that again, I tried one more search and found the answer to my poor audio problem. I did a Google search for "virtualbox poor sound" (without the quotes) and found a reference to selecting the right audio host driver and controller in the virtual machine. The host driver was okay, but the audio controller was Intel HD Audio. On my other machine, the audio controller was ICH AC97, which is what was recommended on https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1041743. I changed the Audio Controller setting to ICH AC97 and restarted the virtual machine. When it came up it had no audio device. More searching led me to download and install the Realtek driver for Windows 7. Once that was done and the virtual machine rebooted, the sound was nice and clear. Thanks again for the KVM/qemu recommendations. Some day, I'll give it a try, but fixing what was broke took much less time than I expect starting over with a new virtual environment would. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
