5.2.18 is good as well, therefore 5.2.20 is the breaking version.

If anything of the list that you provided then I'd say
  "Linux Additions: various small fixes for video driver"

I should later today get to test .18 and .20 ...

Audio changed in the code, it would be nice to understand which version
exactly broke it (if 5.2.18 or 5.2.20), and then open a ticket upstream!

In the meanwhile I'll prod them to this bug

[Bug 1840749] Re: Sound problems since ~5.2.3x

2019-08-26 Thread Christian Ehrhardt 
I knew from my upgrading:
5.1.38-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.3 (xenial) ok
5.2.32-dfsg-0~ubuntu18.04.1 (bionic) - fail
6.0.6-dfsg-1 (disco) - fail
I think but I'm not sure Bionic release (5.2.10 worked as well)

So I started a poor mans binary search with the upstream packages.
5.2_5.2.32-132073 - fail
5.2_5.2.28-130011 - fail
5.2_5.2.20-125813 - fail
5.2_5.2.16-123759 - ok
5.2_5.2.14-123301 - ok
5.2_5.2.4-119785 - dkms error on install
5.5.2_2.0-118431 - dkms error on install
---
5.1_5.1.38-122592 - ok

Unfortunately time ran out then .18 or .20 is the breaking point.
I can easily check that out next time.

But once I do so is there a common best practice to collect debug info
to report that maybe upstream?

Or does that version level already ring a bell?

Can't you just try the upstream releases?
https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/
they provide xenial binaries up to the latest version...

Hi Gianfranco,
thanks for the reply - didn't know you were on this package as well.
o/

I tried different sound options on both levels:
1. I exchanged graphics cards on the Host and used the onboard sound so overal 
I had
  a) sound over HDMI on embedded graphics
  b) sound over HDMI on dedicated graphics
  c) sound on analog output (line out)
2. I tried various sound options
  a) SB16 (which is the default for win98 guests)
  b) AC97
  c) ICH (no luck with drivers there)

In general "windows" sounds worked e.g. wav and startup.
But all of them shared that they lost sound when the game initialized.

Now that I re-installed to 16.04 I don't need to rebuild things as before.
I have a working environment and when time permits I wanted to slowly pull in 
the virtualbox releases of bionic-release, bionic-updates, ...
Consider it a poor mans binary search so that we'd have a starting point or 
better a smaller version range to look for.
Lets mark it incomplete until I provided that.

btw the compiler incompatibilities are nearly zero, you can disable that
check safely (it is not intended for incompatibilities, just upstream
bumps it after testing has been done)

This might "sound" stupid but did you try different audio devices in the
machine setting?

The new install conformed that the version in Xenial works fine (same 
definition, same images).
So this definitely is an upgrade-regression from Xenial.

I started two PPAs.
initially my expectation is that they will break badly when trying the DKMS 
build against the new kernel. But I can try it with mainline kernels and/or fix 
it up in later uploads.
First they need to build from source ...

Note: target is Disco because that is what my system is on atm and it
allows to check if the older virtualbox on the new env really would
resolve things. I could re-install xenial/bionic later still.
