Hi there, i upgraded to the new media-video/pipewire-1.4.1 yesturday and since then, VirtualBox is no longer usable. As soon anything plays any sound, it just instantly crashes. Sadly i do not get any feedback/logs from Virtualbox oder dmesg on why this happens, so for now i can not deliver any useful logging, but downgrading pipewire solves the issue, so it is the upgrade. I can workaround this by disabling Audio in VirtualBox which is sadly no option as i need sound in the VM for my work (Meetings and such) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade to pipewire-1.4 2. Start an VM that has sound enabled 3. Wait until the VM tries to play sound (usually when logging in on Windows) Actual Results: The VM just disappears (it looks like segfault, but i have not logs to backup that claim) Expected Results: Should play sound Portage 3.0.67 (python 3.12.9-final-0, default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop/plasma, gcc-14, glibc-2.41-r1, 6.13.7-Vamp898 x86_64)

In the effort to get any logs, i upgraded Pipewire again (i still have some time left until i depend on the VM) and tried starting it with VirtualBoxVM --startvm from the command line in hope, to get something out of there. To my surprise, it works starting that way. So i started it again via the GUI using the command VirtualBox And it works there too suddenly... I can no longer reproduce it, sound works fine in VirtualBox after downgrading pipewire and upgrading it again (aka rebuild). Maybe something went wrong at built time? Not sure, but it works flawless now after the rebuild of pipewire.
I am sorry but after an reboot, the issue is back. But at least i can tell you know what VirtualBox says when starting the VM on the commandline It says "Killed" as soon something tries to play sound, nothing more.
What version do you use? Please run `emerge --info app-emulation/virtualbox` and paste the last few lines, it should look something like this: ================================================================= Package Settings ================================================================= app-emulation/virtualbox-7.1.6a::gentoo was built with the following: USE="alsa doc dtrace gui java lvm nls opengl pam pulseaudio sdk sdl udev vboxwebsrv vde vmmraw vnc -dbus -debug (-pch) -python -test" ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="-python3_10 -python3_11" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-docompress binpkg-dostrip binpkg-logs buildpkg-live ccache config-protect-if-modified distlocks ebuild-locks fixlafiles ipc-sandbox merge-sync merge-wait multilib-strict network-sandbox news parallel-fetch pid-sandbox pkgdir-index-trusted preserve-libs protect-owned qa-unresolved-soname-deps sandbox splitdebug strict strict-keepdir unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox usersync warn-on-large-env xattr"
Currently i am running VirtualBox 7.1.6a, but i tried 7.1.4 before (due to a bug in 7.1.6 that prevents 3D Acceleration from working).

I am sorry for posting the whole emerge --info again, i pressed return to fast and there is no edit feature here. But i tested a different soundcard i could get my hands on, two different soundcards, as i read it could be related to the soundcard. But sadly, it doesn't matter which soundcard i use, the result is the same. I hear the login sound from the Guest OS, i can see in qpwgraph the connection for a split second and then the VM is just gone. So at least this issue seems not to be related with the used Soundcard.
