Rhasspy in Home Assistant with VirtualBox

Hello,

Recently I’ve been trying to make voice commands work in Home Assistant. I installed Rhasspy Assistant on my Home Assistant OS which is on VirtualBox (Windows 11). I have audio input and output selected on my virtual machine settings as well as an additional USB sound card which is detected by HAOS.

I have tried many times to select the default input and output (which I can only assume is what is plugged directly into the motherboard and Windows uses as defaults) as well as the USB soundcard input and output in the configuration tab of Rhasspy before starting it.

The issue is that the speakers in Rhasspy work fine, in both the default speakers and the USB sound card, but the mic doesn’t. When I test the PyAudio, nothing works.

I’ve been searching the internet for days for a solution, but so far nothing worked. Any ideas?

Thanks
