[OpenIndiana-discuss] VirtualBox 5.0.24 removes sound from guest

[Predrag Zečević - Unix Systems Administrator]

Hi all,

can someone (with already installed VirtualBox 5.0.24 on /hipster as 
host *and* Windows 10 guest) do quick check for me?

This morning I have upgraded VB from 5.0.22 to 5.0.24 and lost sound in 
guest :-(

If I check VBox.log (grep -i audio VBox.log)
5.0.22:

No /hipster update is performed, e.g. only VBox has been changed...

Does anyone else has same/similar problem?
(right now, I have reverted back to 5.0.22)

Regards.
