Oracle Virtualbox crashing (aborting) on macOS [Solved]

 I run into issues every time I update my VirtualBox version on my MacBook Pro. If you run into issues where you can't start a VM instance, try this fix.

Open Virtualbox >> Go to your VM image >> Click on Settings >> Go to Audio >> Uncheck the "Enable Audio" box.

This fixes VirtualBox VMs that crash or abort on macOS after an update, a recurring annoyance. The workaround is to disable audio for the affected VM in its settings.

The audio backend is a common source of these crashes on macOS, so turning it off lets the VM start while leaving the rest of its configuration untouched.
