I can't imagine that this > could be the reason. Yes, I remember there was a sound problem with the last official release of OpenSolaris (2009.06). But this was not related to VirtualBox, it was a configuration issue with OpenSolaris itself. I installed OSS drivers manually in osol, and that fixed the problem for me. I guess that updating or installing a newer snv version would help, even without having to mess around with OSS. The latest snv would thus be snv_147 on OpenIndiana, but I haven't tested it yet: http://openindiana.org/download/ Good luck. ;-) > Thank you in advance for any help. > Harald Weis -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
