  1. In VirtualBox open the settings for your Windows 10 machine
  2. Go to Audio > Audio Controller, change to "ICH AC97"
  3. Boot your Windows 10 machine and disable driver signature enforcement
  4. Go to Realtek's website, download and install the AC'97 audio codec/driver for Vista/7 ("Vista/Win7 (32/64 bits) Driver only (ZIP file)") onto your Windows 10 machine (run setup.exe after unzipping)
  5. Reboot Windows 10 and you should be done
