I have installed the Build 9926 of the windows 10 technical preview i.e The January Build, on Windows 7.

I am trying to use the voice assistance of cortana on my Virtuabox but am not able to do so. The microphone works perfectly fine on my host windows 7 machine

Any suggestions as to should i do so that my microphone works in virtualBox??

Great question, helped me a lot! – Atabrine 1/10, 2016 at 13:7

It might be slightly off-topic, but it is the single most helpful resource on this topic (crackling audio, both in and out). Relevant link to track the source issue: Virtualbox ticket #15925 (Crackling sound...) – Daren 16/1, 2018 at 9:49

In VirtualBox open the settings for your Windows 10 machine
Go to Audio > Audio Controller, change to "ICH AC97"
Boot your Windows 10 machine and disable driver signature enforcement
Go to Realtek's website, download and install the AC'97 audio codec/driver for Vista/7 ("Vista/Win7 (32/64 bits) Driver only (ZIP file)") onto your Windows 10 machine (run setup.exe after unzipping)
Reboot Windows 10 and you should be done

works like a charm. Both audio input and output works now. – Bouldin 7/2, 2015 at 16:44

Hmm I did get this to work, but didn't get audio input to work with this (but that's from a mac which may be related). As a side note, if you change your virtualbox audio setting to "Intel HD Audio" instead of "ICH AC97" then audio seems to start working without driver install required... – Palliasse 20/11, 2015 at 17:29

Beautiful... you saved me! – Atabrine 1/10, 2016 at 13:8

Thanks for this. Even though it's off topic, you saved me from having to reboot every time I want to skype. – Assure 29/3, 2017 at 21:15

the AC'97 audio driver is not installable in my windows 10. – Quita 26/4, 2017 at 13:8

Only works if you disable the Signed Driver Enforcement – Underpass 1/7, 2017 at 11:19

Didn't work for me :-( AC97 is just as bad as the default Intel HD Audio device. – Shipping 13/7, 2017 at 13:54

Realtek's link is dead now. – Jacelynjacenta 26/11, 2018 at 13:14

@AndrejsCainikovs it works as of now. Although, it requires you give them e-mail to receive link. Also, the link will only work for 5 minutes. If you can't download it from Realtek website, try searching for 0001-6305_Vista_Win7_PG537.zip - that's the archive containing the driver. – Hack 19/12, 2018 at 6:7

I have used disposable e-mail to download their driver, but this turned out to be unnecessary - they did not ask to confirm it, so I guess anything can be typed in if it looks like e-mail address. – Quitclaim 27/9, 2019 at 13:36

Works - you're a genius -- note: do not click setup.exe in the zip -- do a full proper extract and then run setup.exe. – Obeisance 9/11, 2020 at 3:7

Not work for me with Windows 10 and latest VirtualBox 6.1. It had selected AC97 Audio, disabled code signing mode, downloaded and installed AC97 Audio Drive for Vista/Win7_64 and reboot the Windows 10 Host. Nothing worked for me :( – Adulterer 27/9, 2021 at 8:19
