I have installed Genymotion and VirtualBox on my computer, and set up a Samsung Galaxy S6 device through Genymotion. However, when I try to start the device, Genymotion gives me this error:

Unable to start the virtual device

VirtualBox cannot start the virtual device

To find out the cause the problem, start the virtual device from VirtualBox.

For more information, check the log files. Please refer to:www.genymotion.com/faq/logs

I try to start the device in VirtualBox, and get this error: Virtualbox Error

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Samsung Galaxy S6 - 6.0.0 - API 23 - 1440x2560

▼ Details

The configured driver wasn't found. Either the necessary driver modules wasn't loaded, the name was misspelled, or it was a misconfiguration. (VERR_PDM_DRIVER_NOT_FOUND).

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005) Component: ConsoleWrap Interface: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}

I have tried to delete the network drivers and have Genymotion reinstall them. I have also checked all of the drivers for the network interface (drivers), but nothing seems to help. What should I do?

I had this same problem when I installed Genymotion on MacOSX. Solved it by disabling audio.

  1. Open Virtual Box
  2. Select Android VM ( Samsung Galaxy S6 - 6.0.0 - API 23 - 1440x2560 in your case)
  3. Click Settings on top.
  4. Go to Audio and Uncheck Enable Audio Checkbox
