Description
I have a headless Windows 10 VM running on VirtualBox 5.0.20 on an Arch Linux host.
I make connections to the VM using FreeRDP and Remmina.
When making connections to localhost:<port> (on which I have configured for the headless access), I do not get any audio.
However, when I connect directly to the VM using RDP (port 3389) and set the audio to "Local", I get it loud and clear.
To be sure that this is not a VRDP artifact, I cloned the VM and ran it on a VirtualBox instance on a Windows Host. On Windows, I am ale to access the sound both ways.
There is a wontfix (https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/10923). However, I think that the issues are slightly different. This case is specifically about a different way in which the VRDP has been implemented in Windows and Linux.
1.2.0-rcgit.11 (git n/a) When connecting
Title should be: "VirtualBox on Linux does not pass audio when connected using localhost VRDP"
