Hey there
i installed yesterday volumio on a virtualbox because it doesnt worked out on the raspberry piZero.

everything seems to work fine but streaming audio to it doesnt make any sound out of the speakers.

I did an

speaker-test -c 2 -r 48000 -D hw:0,0

and i could hear the the test sound. i even can hear the volumio bootup sound so audio seems to work fine in the guest already

this is the

Which Volumio versions are you testing on PiZero and on x86 VM?
Maybe you had issue “burning” the SD on Pi: PiZero work great usually (which network interface: dongle or PiZero W wifi).
How did you produce the x86 VM: instructions here

When using VMs, make sure network cards are set in bridge mode rather than NATed, as the latter may filter-out some protocols…

i updated to the latest version always…
on the pizero it was working with phatdac but the performance was very poor and the stream seems to crash after a short time, thats why i decided to give it in an vm a try… i did exactly as the description told me but used virtualbox V 5.1.26 maybee thats the cause?

Have my PiZero with pHatDAC working great here.
Also, just tested 2.201 x86 image on Virtualbox 5.1.26 running on my MacBookPro7,1 under macOS Sierra 10.12.6: all is good and sound works.

You may want to re-install fresh images, and let first boot happen quietly while checking doc (refer to signature).
Then, when problems arise, provide some volumio logs from volumio.local/dev/ page
