Description
Hi there, I've been using VirtualBox version 6.1.97 r140489 and r140902 (Q.t 5.6.1) which I compiled myself. What I noticed is that if I pick PulseAudio on the host, both Windows 10 Enterprise x64 and Windows XP Professional x86 are completely silent and on playback, they fail, with players not showing any kind of progress. If I choose ALSA, however, audio works, but the guest cannot receive any input from the microphone of the host. I also tried to make a brand new virtual machine with Win10 and it didn't change, I was able to reproduce the error. The host is Fedora 33 x64, kernel 5.8.15. I just wanted to let you know so that you can get it fixed before releasing a new stable version.
By looking at the logs https://pastebin.com/dwYh7C6i it seems that the problem lies here:

I updated the kernel to version 5.8.16-300.fc33.x86_64, leaving VirtualBox 6.1.97 alone.
Same behavior...
