Description
Hi there
I am able to open wonix gateway - i did the recommended updated. When trying to run whonix workspace, the window pops open and then closes with the message error showing: Aborted. I downloaded the error log and saved it.
The newest version have been downloaded for both softwares. I am using IOS since i am a mac owner.
Any ideas how to proceed?
Thank you for the support

| Summary: | Whonix workspace: aborted → VBox 6.1.4 on macOS host fails to start Whonix VM due to audio permission errors |
Thanks for the report and including the VBox.log file. The last lines of the VBox.log file:
00:00:22.660264 AC97: Record select to left=Microphone In, right=Microphone In 00:00:23.410559 CoreAudio: macOS 10.14+ detected, checking audio input permissions
point to a known regression in VirtualBox 6.1.14 which affects macOS hosts which is related to audio input permissions. Thus despite the different bug synopsis this should be the same root cause as the issue described in ticket #19758. The good news is that this has been fixed now and the latest 6.1.x Testbuilds include this fix. The fix will also be part of the next maintenance release of VirtualBox 6.1.x.
Can you try out the latest 6.1.x Testbuilds to verify that this resolves the issue for you?
