I tried to get Genymotion running through Android Studio with VirtualBox installed through homebrew Cask. When trying to launch Genymotion through Android Studio using the Genymotion Device Manager button in the toolbar, I get the error Genymotion: Initialize Engine: failed in the event log, which seems to be the error related to when VirtualBox isn't installed.

Running Genymotion on its own outside of Android Studio works perfectly fine.

I was able to fix this by uninstalling VirtualBox from Cask and reinstalling with the .dmg provided by VirtualBox themselves. That's fine for me right now, but I am wondering how one would get a Cask-installed VirtualBox linked up to Android Studio.

Make sure you have installed Homebrew.

brew cask install virtualbox

brew cask install genymotion
