3) Expected behavior: microphone should work in Windows XP guest if virtualbox-ose is configured to use pulseaudio or alsa.
4) What happens: microphone sound is very garbled when using pulse audio. The voice is very truncated and it is very hard do understand. I tested using the windows voice recorder and skype (skype notes that the voice is garbled and simply cut off the microphone). If I use alsa, the sound is better but there are still click sounds and some noise.
I have a similar problem. Pulseaudio does not work at all (the microphone is silent), whereas ALSA gives a lot of noise. It is impossible to tell I am speaking when using ALSA. The microphone and audio setup in Linux works well with other applications (e.g. Skype).
