I got my free educational windows 10 installed on my mac using virtual box and used the product key I received from the university for my account. But do you to some issue I had to remove it and again install in virtualbox. Shut down the windows 10 VM. Open the Settings navigate to Audio section Change the 'Host Audio Driver' to 'ALSA Audio Driver'. (Pulse Audio also works but it still had stutters).
In this article, I’ll show you how to Fix EFI Internal Shell on macOS Catalina on VirtualBox. MacOS Catalina is by far the most solid operating system for Mac users. It was released on October 7, 2019, and since then it has been in hands of thousands and even millions of people which include macOS installed on Windows. Audio worked a few times, then it stopped working. (A virtualbox version update or me tweaking settings might have caused this, I am not sure.) = I tried doing a clean install from ISO with all default Windows 10 settings on VirtualBox, no audio there, either. I tried another Mac I own (that one has macOS 10.14 Mojave installed), when I install.
