I am running C7 host and pulse audio. I have a Win 10 guest with ICH9
audio. It works – but I hear artifacts. Anything to do to help audio be flawless under guest VM ?
Currently I was just on youtube and playing a song. nothing special.

Plenty of resources on the host. The guest has 8G ram and 8 CPU.

Thanks

Jerry

  • I’ve experienced this as well, and haven’t really dug into it, since my main pro audio production tools (Harrison Mixbus and Mixbus32C) are Linux-native.

  • Just a personal note here, not at all difinitive:

    I used to have a Windows 10 VM in Virtualbox (on CentOS-7) and the Windows sound sucked. Garbled, distorted, and lots of added noise. Does that seem to be anything like the described “artifacts” ??

    I’d guess it’s some general issue with Win10 sound, and that MS
    doesn’t “love Linux” enough to actually make it workd in a VM. They probably want you to run Linux in a VM on windows, not the other way around.
