From time to time I make fresh arch installations under virtualbox to test new things before implement them on my arch host.
As usually I followed the standard procedure to install standard packages, guest modules, gnome etc., nothing fancy but for some reason I cant get sound working. It always used to work out of the box.
In the logs I can only see:
pulseaudio[919]: alsa-sink.c: ALSA was wake up, to save the new data to the device, but there was nothing to save.
pulseaudio[919]: alsa-sink.c: This is probably a bug in the ALSA driver "snd_intel8x0". Please report this problem to the ALSA developers
pulseaudio[919]: alsa-sink.c: Awekened by setting POLLOUT - but at the same time calling snd_pcm_avail () returned zero, or another values < min_avail.
I didn't make any changes to virtualbox sound settings so by default it's pulseaudio. I made the installation twice and same issue, any clues?

Ok I *think* the problem is with latest virtualbox 5.0.2-1, the same image exported to vmware works fine (the sound).

Ok solved, in VM setting you need to change audio controller to Intel HD Audio and switch back. It seems that sound in not enabled when creating a vm under VB5.
