VirtualBox issues?

Hey all. I’m suddenly having issues with Local and VirtualBox. This morning, when opening the app, it took me to the “VirtualBox Upgrade” screen, where it told me it needs to upgrade VirtualBox. I hit the “Upgrade VirtualBox” button, it asked for admin permission, and then it did nothing and went back to the same screen. It kept doing this, so I downloaded and installed the latest version of VirtualBox manually. Now I’m getting even more errors:

  • “Uh oh! We ran into a hiccup when trying to start the Local Machine. Unable to start the VM: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe startvm local-by-flywheel --type headless failed:”
  • “VBoxManage.exe: error: The virtual machine ‘local-by-flywheel’ has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1). More details may be available in ‘[…]VBoxHardening.log’.”
  • “VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code E_FAIL (0x80004005), component MachineWrap, interface IMachine”
  • “Details: 25:42:33.483504 Audio: Device configuration of driver ‘DSoundAudio’ has changed”

It then sits at “Starting Local Machine…” forever.

The contents of VBoxHardening.log are:

So I kept googling and I found this post, which linked to this post on the VirtualBox forums. The solution there worked for me. Not sure what caused this, but the fix worked. Hopefully it keeps working next reboot.
