The sound played in Guest VM does not pass to the bluetooth headphones connected to the host
If I connect bluetooth headphones to the Ubuntu 24.04 host, and play any sound, it is heard through the bluetooth headphones (which is expected), however, if this is done in the Windows guest vm, the sound is listen through the PC speakers and not through the headphones.
This did not happen in Ubuntu 22.04.
PS: I downgraded to x 7.0.14 guest add it didn't work.
- Host: Ubuntu Mate 24.04
- Guest VM: Windows 10 x64 22h2
- Virtualbox: 7.0.18 and guest add same version

Update:
I have updated to v7.0.20 r163906 (Qt5.15.13). Same problem. The sound played in Guest VM does not pass to the bluetooth headphones connected to the host (I have tried several bluetooth headphones)
Update 2:
It seems that this problem extends to other areas related to sound. It's not just Bluetooth anymore. If the guest (VM) is started, the audio conflicts with the host. That is, no sound can be played on the host while the guest is playing sounds.
