No sound, LMDE update 5 in VirtualBox

I run LMDE in Virtualbox. Sound worked well until I installed update pack 5, but now I have no sound. I have looked at the pulseaudio settings and there is nothing obviously wrong. The pulseaudio volume monitor shows that music is playing, but there is nothing coming out on the speakers. As the problem started with the update to Mint, I assume that something changed in Mint is the problem, but I don't know what to look for.
I had the following message in /var/log/messages before and after the update, so I assume it is not suspicious
Code: Select all
Sep 24 10:50:33 virtual-mint pulseaudio[2891]: [pulseaudio] alsa-util.c: Disabling timer-based scheduling because running inside a VM.
There are also some messages about measured clock being rejected, but that was the same before the update as well.
Any thoughts on how to debug this would be welcome.

ok, got the audio working on my mint virtual machine on virtualbox.
Menu -> Preferences -> Volume Control
Change the device in the dropdown to SigmaTel... (OSS Mixer)
Change the Master volume in the Playback tab (the default was 0)

I had the same problem after update 5 in virtualbox.
To solve the issue, I installed Pulseaudio volume control (pavucontrol) with the Software Manager. After installation, open PulseAudio Volume Control. Click on the Output Devices tab and change the port from "Analog Mono Output/Amplifier" to "LFE on Separate Mono Output/Amplifier".
Hope this helps someone
