icaros desktop 2.0 and Amiga 68k software

[Amigamia]

Hey Paolone, I have had similar problems running it in VirtualBox and I seem to have narrowed it down the sound. VirtualBox version is 4.3.18 r96516 under MAC OS X Yosemite. The particular problem I am having is with ICH AC97. Icaros detects it but when I play a test sound, it shortly plays and then freezes the AHI window. The other sound devices from VirtualBox are not detected by ICAROS. The Virtual HDD is 5GB and 1GB Ram.

I'll provide more details when I get a chance to play with it more.

Actually I had it set for PIIX4. I switched it to PIIX3 and still the same. I'll try downgrading VirtualBox tomorrow..

Although I haven't installed the latest VBox, the choice between PIIX3 and PIIX4 sounds like the options for the IDE controller. Are you definitely looking at the System tab, and not the Storage tab?

AhhhHA!! Thanks for the extra detail. You are right! I switched it from ICH9 to PIIX4 as Chipset under the System tab and the sound works. I was even able to hear the startup sound, which is a good indication sound works but I tested it in AHI OK.

So far so good! I'll test more and report back. Thanks Neil
