Genymotion can actually use your computer's microphone. Depending on your computer it sometimes does not work because of VirtualBox hardward support.

Here is a conversation about this topic on the Genymotion's Google Group. You should try to play with the sound configuration on VirtualBox:

  • Open VirtualBox
  • Choose a VM and open its settings
  • Go to sound tab and change the audio controler or audio pilot

Let me know what is your configuration (OS, Genymotion version).

This emulator does not support microphone if you are using windows host OS.

Genymotion developers are aware of this, they even filled a virtualbox bug.
