I have installed the Build 9926 of the windows 10 technical preview i.e The January Build, on Windows 7.

I am trying to use the voice assistance of cortana on my Virtuabox but am not able to do so. The microphone works perfectly fine on my host windows 7 machine

Any suggestions as to should i do so that my microphone works in virtualBox??

  1. In VirtualBox open the settings for your Windows 10 machine
  2. Go to Audio > Audio Controller, change to "ICH AC97"
  3. Boot your Windows 10 machine and disable driver signature enforcement
  4. Go to Realtek's website, download and install the AC'97 audio codec/driver for Vista/7 ("Vista/Win7 (32/64 bits) Driver only (ZIP file)") onto your Windows 10 machine (run setup.exe after unzipping)
  5. Reboot Windows 10 and you should be done
