Gregory,

This is the first time I hear about this. I'm not sure this is correct. But
f course I could be wrong, as I have never used VBox on Mac hosts.

According to ticket#8573 <https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/8573> a user
reported he got recording working by following this procedure:

(1) goto your guest os's master volume, set the properties to show all the
volume controls for playback.
(2) Shall see few items (line-in,..) are muted.
(3) "Unmute" and "turn up the volume" them all.
(4) Goto Control Panel, test your sound recording. It shall work now.
(5) Go back to the master volume, mute an "unmuted" item, go back to step 4
for testing; test the items one by one until you find the item(s) that you
cannot mute.

In fact the release notes of 5.0.26 show
***Audio***: imlemented dynamic re-attaching of _input_/output devices on
Mac OS X hosts

Cliff: could you please report what sound emulation you have enabled?
Also, make sure you are using the latest greatest VBox 5.1.4 version ,
released 11 days ago.

I say that because there were sound-related bug fixes in that build

PS: If all of the above fails, and you have the time and will to test, you
could also install the 5.1 test builds and report back if you see any
difference
