Please add support for Guests to control Host Audio Volume (+/-)

Reported by: Quickbooks Office Owned by:
Component: other Version: VirtualBox 4.2.10
Keywords: Cc: quickbooks.office@…
Guest type: all Host type: Linux

Description

Please add support for Guests to control Audio Volume (+/-). Probably best to add a check box in the Audio Section of the Settings GUI (where it says Enable Audo; Host Audio Driver = ALSA; Audio Controller = Intel HD Audio).

Right now if I watch a video in Guest OS in Full Screen, and I need to increase or lower the volume I have to

  1. Pause the Video
  2. Exit full screen mode
  3. Go to the Host OS to increase or lower the volume
  4. Then go back to the Guest OS and change it to full screen mode.
  5. Resume Video and hope it is the correct volume or go back to Step 1.

Replying to quickbooks:

  1. Resume Video and hope it is the correct volume or go back to Step 1.

Update:

  1. The Volume keys on my keyboard do Not work in Seamless Mode or Fullscreen Mode. They only work in Windowed mode.
  1. In Seamless Mode using Cinnamon desktop env. when I click on Volume icon in the panel, there is a box that hovers on top of the VirtualBox where we can increase or decrease the volume (just above the system tray area). Unfortunaly clicking here, clicks inside the guest. So you cannot change volume this way.
