Fred, An update on the problem.
Went back to 5.0.26 and the audio is now getting into the VM. Apparently 5.1.4 even though some sound problems have been fixed, some still remain. On the Mac, 10.11.6 Host, it appears as if the pass through is only what ever audio input the Mac is using. The Guest can’t distinguish between Microphone and Line-in. I have to switch the input in the Host Audio settings to what ever input I want to use. Maybe this the way it has to be, but I had just never noticed it before. Is there a “changes list” for the test builds? Since I know 5.1.4 is broken for sound input unless someone has fixed more sound stuff there isn’t much point in installing it. Thanks.
