title: Audio not working on Android running on Virtualbox?
body: <p>I installed Android on Virtualbox, I'm using Android x86 downloaded from <a href="http://www.android-x86.org/download" rel="noreferrer">http://www.android-x86.org/download</a> I chose version 2.3 the eeepc version (android-x86-2.3-RC1-eeepc.iso).</p>
  
  <p>The problem is the sound is not working, I tried all 3 choices in Virtualbox settings.
  My current settings:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Host driver: Windows DirectSound
  Controller: ICH AC97
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The choices I tried for the audio controller setting:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Intel HD Audio
  ICH AC97
  SoundBlaster 16
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm currently running Windows 7 and my audio driver is the default windows driver.</p>
  
  <p>I searched and found people with the same issue, but I couldn't understand anything as I'm not an advanced Linux user some solutions talk about the ALSA driver but I couldn't find how to install it and use it.</p>
  
  <p>Also could it be from the installation .iso file I chose ? my computer is <code>Acer Travelmate 2480</code>.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong>
  While checking the Android x86 website I found that we should <a href="http://www.android-x86.org/documents/virtualboxhowto" rel="noreferrer">use SoundBlaster 16 instead of ICH AC97</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I also tried the <code>alsa_ctl init</code> command inside the terminal (ALT + F1), and I got this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Unkown hardware: "Dummy" ""Dummy Mixer" "" "" ""
  Hardware is initialized using a guess method
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I checked the version it's 1.0.23</p>
