Description
Host: Win10, VBox 5.0.26
Guest: Win10, x64
When undocking a laptop from a dock station, I expect VirtualBox to automatically switch to a different audio-out device. For example, WinAmp music player on native host does it correctly.
Sadly, VBox doesn't, which makes it impossible to use Skype or listening audio/video with docking station.
Steps to reproduce:
- Start any music player or VoIP program in Windows (7 or 10) guest
- Undock (unplug) laptop from docking station (which includes a separate USB Sound Blaster device)
Expected result: Music should keep playing with max. 1 second audio drop
Actual result: Music stops playing completely.
