ReactOS Forum

Hello Reactors,
What is the condition of the audio system of ReactOS ?

When I install ReactOS on VirtualBox, I don't get the audio system to work automatically.

I use AC97 audio driver on VirtualBox.
With Windows XP audio works automatically on VirtualBox.
Shouldn't it be the same with ReactOS ?
Is there something I am missing ?

Well, seems like you forgot that ReactOS is in Alpha Stadium I would say... After all these weeks...

Sound in general in ReactOS is horribly incomplete right now, last I checked it only supported one specific bitrate or something. After sound is actually complete the team can probably begin to actually make it work out of the box.

Thanks for help.

Hi Adcock,

I found sound working in VirtualBox with the AC-97 driver and documented this on my How-To page here:

Don't expect sound on real hardware, though.
