A dozen comments that this happens because the microphone is turned on, but nobody is asking why vagrant is turning the microphone on?
- Rjevski 8y agoVagrant is using VirtualBox under the hood, and presumably the default VB config is to let the VM use two-way audio, so it preemptively opens both the output and mic channel in case the VM needs it.
- tedunangst 8y agoI have so many questions, but will not ask them because I don't think I'll like the answers.
- voltagex_ 8y agoTHe answer is better defaults. Raise a bug report.
- dcmorton 8y agoMy solution/fix for this was downgrading VirtualBox back to 5.2.18; seems like something in Virtualbox 5.2.20+ seems to initialize the mic when the VM is booting. Guessing is an unintentional change since there's nothing in the changelogs specifically calling it out. There's likely some fiddling with the VirtualBox VM settings to prevent it from occurring, but things like Test Kitchen in Chef destroy/create new VMs constantly so any changes get quickly lost.
